Cardiopulmonary Flashcards
Target heart rate using percent max HR
lower: HRmax x 55%
upper: HRmax x 90%
Heart rate reserve
lower: [(HRmax - HRrest) x 40%] + HRrest
Upper: x 85%
Normal CP response to acute aerobic exercise
- increased oxygen consumption
- increased CO
- increased blood flow
- linear increase in SBP with increasing workload
- no change or decrease in DBP
- increased respiratory rate and tidal volume
Precautions/Contraindications to postural drainage
- IC pressure >20 mmHG
- head and neck injury (until stabilized)
- active hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability
- recent spinal surgery or acute spinal injury
- active hemoptysis
- empyma
- bronchopleural fistula
- pulm. edema associated with CHF
- large pleural effusion
- PE
- confused or anxious patients
- rib fracture

Contraindications to trendelenburg position
- uncontrolled HTN
- distended abdomen
- esophageal surgery
- recent gross hemoptysis related to lung carcinoma treated surgically or with radiation
- uncontrolled airway at risk for aspiration (feeding tube, recent meal)
Autogenic drainage
- controlled breathing to mobilize secretions by varying expiratory airflow without using postural drainage or coughing
- requires patience to learn
- not suitable for young children or patient who are not motivated or easily distracted
Active Cycle of Breathing
- always couples breathing exercise with the huff cough
- 3 phases: breathing control, thoracic expansion, forced expiratory technique
Bullectomy
surgical procedure that removes large air spaces (“bullae” that form when alveoli are destroyed by emphysema.

ABI procedure and scoring
- take SBP in (B) UE and (B) LE
- divide higher of 2 BPs in the ankles by the higher of rht 2 in the arms
- > 1.3 - rigid arteries, check for PAD
- 1.0-1.3 = normal
- 0.8-0.99 - mild blockage, beginning PAD
- 0.4-0.79 - moderate blockage, may have intermittent claudication
- > 0.4 - severe blockage, severe PAD, may have claudication at rest
BP procedure
- cuff should encircle 80% of the arm in adults and 100% in children
- cuts off brachial artery
- deflate cuff no more than 2-3mmHG per second
Hypertension classifications
Normal: 160/>100
Borg RPE
7 - very, very light 9-very light 11-fairly light 13-somewhat hard 15-hard 17-very hard 19-very, very hard
Modified BORG RPE
0-nothing 1-very weak 3-moderate 5-strong 7-very strong 10-maximal
Expected outcomes with diaphragmatic breathing
- decrease RR
- decrease use of accessory muscles
- increase tidal volume
- decrease respiratory flow rate
- subjective improvement of dyspnea
- improve tolerance for activity
Pursed lip breathing
- helps prevent airway collapse in patient’s with emphysema
- decreases RR
- reduces dyspnea
- maintains a small positive pressure in the bronchioles
Expected outcomes with pursed lip breathing
- decrease RR
- relieve dyspnea
- reduce arterial PaCO2
- improve tidal volume
- improve o2 sats
- prevent airway collapse
- improve activity tolerance
Positioning for segmental breathing
- sitting for basal atelectasis
- sidelying with affected lung uppermost
- postural drainage positions with affected lung uppermost to assist with secretion removal
Expected outcomes of segmental breathing
- increase chest wall mobility
- expand collapsed alveoli via airflow through collateral channels
- assist with secretion removal
Expected outcomes of sustained maximal inhalation with incentive spirometer
- absence of or improvement in signs of atelectasis
- decreased RR
- resolution of fever
- normal pulse rate
- normal chest Xray
- improved paCo2
- increased forced vital capacity and peak expiratory flows
Atrial systole
-contraction of (R) and 9l) atria pushing blood into ventricles
Atrial diastole
-period between atrial contractions and atria repolarizing
Ventricular systole
-contraction of (R) and (L) ventricles
Ventricular diastole
-period of repolarization
Normal stroke volume
60-80ml
Normal CO
4.5-5.0 L/min. can increase up to 25L/min during exercise
Left sided CHF
-associated with S/S pulmonary venous congestion
Left sided CHF
-associated with S/S pulmonary venous congestion
Right sided CHF
-associated with S/S systemic venous congestion
CHF compensatory changes
- due to decreased CO
- increase in blood volume
- increase in cardiac filling pressure
- increase in HR
- increase in cardiac muscle mass
MI risk factors
- family history
- smoking
- physical inactivity
- stress
- HTN
- elevated cholesterol
- diabetes mellitus
- obesity
