Cardio Pulm 2 Flashcards
Active cycle of breathing
Breathing control: 5-10 sec of normal breathing
Thoracic Expansion: 3-4 deep slow breaths with passive exhalation (may be combined with purcussions/ vibrations)
Forced Expiratory technique: one or two huffs with glottis open.
Autogenic Drainage
pt sitting upright in chair
unsticking phase: breathe in through nose followed by 2-3 second hold, exhale
collecting phase: breath at tidal volume followed by 2-3sec breath holds
Evacuation phase: deeper inspirations, with breath holding followed by huff.
High frequency airway oscillation
hand held devices that combine positive expiratory pressure with high frequency vibrations to mobilize secretions
Diaphragmatic breathing
breathing predominatly with diaphragm while minimizing accessory muscle and motion of the upper rib cage.
Inspiratory muscle training: 2 devices
flow resistive: inhale through tubes of varying diameter
Threshold breathing: inhale through tube with valve that opens at certain pressure
Pursed lip breathing
breathin in slowly though nose, pucker lips, gently breath out.
good for reducing dyspnea/ respiratory rate, increase positive airway pressure
Segmental breathing
firm pressure at end of exhalation, expand ribcage into therapists hands, reduce hand pressure with inhalation
Reverse Trendelenberg
supine with head above trunk and LE»>decreased weight on abdominal contents/ diaphragm
Fowlers positions (high to low)
High-Fowlers: supine HOB 80-90deg
Fowlers: supine HOB 45-60
Semi-Fowlers: supine HOB elev 30-45 deg,
Low Fowlers: Supine HOB 15-30deg
Trendelenburg position
supine with feet 15-30 deg higher than head
Cor Pulmonale
hypertrophy of the R ventricle caused by altered structure/ function of the lungs
Rheumatic fever
inflammatory disease that can develop as complicaiotn of strep throat
Bronchitis
inflamm of the bronchi characterized by hypertrophy of the mucus secreting glands
Pulmonary edema
fluid collects in alveoli making it difficult to breath
angina
transient precordial sensation of pressure or discomfort from myocardial ischemia
Atelectasis
one of more area of lung collapse of fail to inflat properly
endocarditis
inflamm of the endothelium that lines the heart and cardiac valves
athlerosclerosis
slow progressive accumulation of fatty plaques on the inner walls of the arteries
