Cardiopulmonary Flashcards
Describe myocardial infarction
- blood and O2 decrease d/t rupture in coronary artery or plaque formation
-improve blood flow, relieve pain and prevent clots
after an MI what should Met levels by limited to
1-2 METS
Describe CAD
coronary artery disease leads to narrow blood vessels with plaques and decreases blood flow to the heart
describe angina pectoris
-complication of CAD
-heart muscle constricts with increased activity demands d/t decreased blood supply
describe CHF
- impaired structure and function of ventricles
- decreased abilty to pump blood leads to collect of fluid in lungs and extremities
describe cardiomyopathies
decrease of myocardium with mechanical or electrical dysfunction
describe peripheral artery disease
narrowing of arteries to the limbs leads to cramping when walking, numbness, and cold extremities
describe endocardities
bacterial infection in endocardium and heart valves
describe myocarditis
inflammation of the myocardium secondary to viral, bacterial, parasitis or fungal infection
describe pericarditis
inflammation of pericardium secondary to heart attack, heart surgery, kidney failure, and infection
describe cardiac temponade
results from increased pericardial effusion
medical treatments to cardiac dxs
-CABG
-Valve replacement
-angioplasty
-atherectomy
-pacemaker
-VAD
-IABP
-Medications
Life style changes
How are DVTs treated
- blood thinners
- compression stockings
describe superficial thrombophlebitis and interventions
- blood clot formation in veins of arm, leg, groin
- warm, moist compresses, pain meds
describe pulmonary embolism and intervention
- DVT that breaks loose toward pulmonary arteries blocking blood from the R ventricle to the lungs
- IV heparin
describe compartment syndrome
- results form hemorrhage or edema
- pain, swelling, decreased voluntary movement in involved muscles, sensory changes
describe gangrene and interventions
- tissue death d/t decreased or absent blood supply
- antibiotics, amputation, pain meds
describe Raynaud’s syndrome and intervention
- vascular changes occurring form decreased blood flow to digits
- vasodilators, calcium channel blockers
what is the general goal of cardia rehab
prevent muscle loss, monitor functional status and decrease risk factors
OT intervention in inpatient phase
-monitor HR, BP, EKG
-monitor low-level physical activity
-progress though MET levels
OT intervention in outpatient phase
-exercise and activity progression through MET levels
-weight training at 2-4 weeks
-minimize risk factors
OT intervention at community level
continue to progress activity tolerance
orthostatic hypotension
BP decreases with supine > sit/stand
postprandial orthostatic hypotension
BP decreases with supine>stand after eating
neutrally mediated hypotension
BP decreases after standing for an extended period
severe hypotension
d/t sudden loss of blood
light METs
- less than 3
- sitting, walking, dressing
moderate METs
- 3-6
- housework, yardwork, brisk walking
Vigorous METS
- greater than 6
-running, bicycling, shoveling
COPD
damage to alveolar wall and inflammation of conducting airways
Emphysema
alveoli rupture or enlarge and lungs lose elasticity
Chronic bronchitis
long-term inflammation of cronchioles with dyspnea
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
acute inflammatory reaction to illness or trauma leading to injury to lung and fluid buildup
Interstitial lung disease (ILD)
group of disorders causing scarring of pulmonary interstitium
cystic fibrosis
chronic autosomal disease affecting exocrine glands
obstructive sleep apnea
recurrent periods of breathing cessation for 10+ seconds
pneumonia
inflammation of lung tissue
medical management of pulmonary conditions
- anti-inflammatory agents
- bronchodilators
- expectorants
- Oxygen therapy
General considerations of pulmonary rehab
- increase strength, endurance and mobility
- education on energy conservation and stress management
OT intervention for pulmonary rehabilitaiton
- I/ADL retraining
- monitor vitals
- breathing regulation with activity
- self-assessing and monitoring dyspnea
-purse-lipped breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, leaning on forearms and thighs - energy conservation
