Cardiac Rehab Lecture 1 Flashcards
What is Cardiopulmonary PT?
The purpose of CPPT is to prevent, mitigate, or reverse cardiopulmonary dysfunction, and hence, the impairment of or threat to oxygen transport
What is oxygen transport?
OT refers to the delivery, uptake, and extraction of oxygen at the tissue level, thus it reflects the adequacy of the structure and function of the airways, lungs, pulmonary circulation, blood, heart, peripheral circulation, microcirculation, and tissue
CPPT Interventions?
Include mobilization, exercise, body positioning, breathing control, coughing and airway clearance maneuvers, and manual techniques
Layers of cardiac tissue
Endocardium: innermost part of heart
Myocardium: middle layer of heart
Epicardium: Outer layer of heart
Pericardium: Fibrous sac that surrounds heart. Creates the pericardial cavity around the heart
Muscles of Inspiration
External Intercostals & Diaphragm
Secondary: SCM, Scalenes (ant, mid, post), pec major/minor, serratus ant, lat dorsi, serratus posterior anterior
Muscles of Expiration
Internal Intercostals, intercostalis intimi, and subcostals.
Acessory Muscles of Inspiration
Secondary: SCM, Scalenes (ant, mid, post), pec major/minor, serratus ant, lat dorsi, serratus posterior anterior
Accessory Muscles of Expiration
Rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis.
Pleura
Continuous membranous sacs, which cover each lung
Parietal Pleura
outer portion of pleural sac
Visceral Pleura
surface in contact with the lung tissue (parenchyma)
Pleural Space
Potential space between parietal and visceral pleurae
Primary Function of Lungs
Supply the body with O2 and remove CO2
In order for continuous gas exchange to take place there must be adequate ventilation, diffusion and profusion of the alveoli
Ventilation
Process by which air moves into the lungs
Normal Inspiration
Alveolar pressure less than or equal to atmospheric
