19
Q

PT Considerations for Pacemaker

A

• If no rate modulation, low level activity with
small increases in metabolic demand is
preferred.
– RPE, BP, and symptoms are used to monitor
tolerance.
• For pacemaker w/rate modulation, consider
the type of rate modulation.

20
Q

Non Modulated Pace Maker

A

it is important to know that HR can not be used to determine pts activity level, instead you would need to use the borg scale (RPE) or BP to check the pt

21
Q

Modulated Pace Maker

A

would be ideal way b/c HR can change with activity. It is important to know what kind of modulation the pt is using because this will allow the PT to use the appropriate interventions to address how much intensity to give the pt. Different modulation types: sensory, ventilation, etc.

23
Q

PT Intervention (Goals)

A

• Assess hemodynamic response in conjunction with medical
or surgical management during self care activities and
functional mobility.
• Maximize activity tolerance
• Provide patient & family education regarding behavior
modification and risk factor reduction

24

  • Second
    degree heart block coupled w/ (PVCs) at rest
  • Third
    degree heart block
  • More than 10 PVCs per minute at rest
    Multifocal PVCs, USA w/ recent changes in symptoms (< 24
    hrs ), and ECG changes
    associated w/ ischemia/injury
  • Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm
  • New onset (< 24
    hrs ) of A fib with RVR at rest (HR >100 bpm)
  • Chest pain w/ new ST segment changes on ECG

27
Q

3 phases of PT Interventions

A
  1. Warm up phase
  2. Conditioning phase
  3. Cool-down (relaxation) phase
28
Q

Ways to Monitor Activity Tolerance (HR)

A

• In general, a 20 to 30 beat increase from resting value during
activity is a safe intensity.
• If undergone stress test (during hospital stay), use 60% to 80% of
the max HR achieved during the test.
• Disproportionate HR response to low level activity: >120 bpm or
<50 bpm.

29
Q

HRR formula

A

HRR = peak HR minus the HR at 60 seconds after the completion.
– Abnormal if ≤12 bpm w/ a cool down and <18 bpm w/o a cool down.

30
Q

HRR formula

A

HRR = peak HR minus the HR at 60 seconds after the completion.
– Abnormal if ≤12 bpm w/ a cool down and <18 bpm w/o a cool down.

31
Q

Ways to Monitor Activity Tolerance (BP)

A

• Disproportionate response:
– Systolic pressure decrease of 10 mm Hg below the resting.
– Systolic response of more than 180 mm Hg.
– Diastolic response of more than 110 mm Hg.
• Normal systolic blood response should increase 5 to
12 mm Hg per increase in METs.
• If the patient is on a pacemaker that does not have rate
modulation, BP response can be used to gauge intensity.

32
Q

Training SBP

A

Training SBP = (SBP max SBP rest) Intensity 60%

80% SBP rest

33
Q

Ways to Monitor Activity Tolerance (Borg)

A

• The “Borg RPE Scale” (6 20 or 0 10) is a subjective feelings of
exercise intensity. Can also be used for breathlessness and muscle fatigue
• The preferred method of prescribing exercise intensity for a
patient taking beta blockers.
• General guideline: exercise to a point no greater than 5 on
the 10 point scale and no greater than 13 on the 6 20 scale.
• Instructions of the scale should be followed exactly as
designed and not be modified.

34
Q

Ways to Monitor Activity Tolerance (RPP)

A

• Rate Pressure Product (RPP) is HR × SBP and is an
indication of myocardial oxygen demand.
• If a patient undergoes maximal exercise testing and
has myocardial ischemia, RPP can be calculated at
the point when ischemia is
occurring to establish the pt’s
ischemic threshold
• This RPP value can then be used
during exercise to provide a safe
guideline of exercise intensity.

• Hemodynamic Response/ RPP

  • High = >30000 RPP
  • High Intermediate = 25000 - 29999
  • Intermediate = 20000 - 24999
  • Low Intermediate = 15000 - 19999
  • Low = 10000 - 14999
