Cardio-Pulmonary Flashcards

1
Q

What do we combine cardio/pulmonary systems?

A

significant overlap - biomechanical, circulation, innervation, lympahtics

areas of constant homeostatic control

Q

What condition can hinder CP function?

A

Scoliosis

5-15o: mild scoliosis

20-45o: moderate scoliosis

>50o: severe scoliosis

Q

What is the Cobb method?

A

used to classify scoliosis and mild, moderate or severe

cobb angle is formed by the intersection of a line parallel to the superior end plate of the most cephalad vertebra in a particular curve, with the line parallel to the inferior end plate of the most caudad vertebra of the curve

Q

What happens to lympathic flow with hypersympathetic tone?

A

decreased lymph flow

due to thoracic duct being under sympathetic control

Q

How does HF affect the thoracic duct? leads to what?

A

HF –> dec ability of thoracic duct to empty –> dilation of thoracic duct –> peripheral edema

17
Q

What is the 5 model approach to CHF?

A
18
Q

How is OMT used in arrhythmias?

A

directed towards reduction of segmental facilitation in the upper thoracics and modification of vagal tonicity

A
20
Q

What are the three goals of tx for pneumonia?

A
  1. Reduce congestion
  2. Reduce sympathetic hyperactivity to the pulmonary parenchyma of the lung
  3. Reduce mechanical impediments to thoracic cage respiratory motion
