Cardiopulmonary Flashcards
During systole, the ______ chambers of the heart (contract/relax)
ventricular; contract
During diastole, the _____ chambers of the heart (contract/relax)
ventricular; relax
Disorder that leads to inadequate system circulation, pulmonary congestion, and low cardiac output; includes difficulty breathing, anxiety, cerebral hypoxia, and fatigue/weakness
Congestive (left sided) heart failure
Disorder that leads to inadequate blood return from system circulation, jugular vein distension, peripheral edema, cyanotic nail beds, jaundice, and LE edema
Right sided heart failure
Describe the functional categories of cardiac disease (New York Heart Association (NYHA)
Class I: no limitation in physical activity
Class II: slight limitation in ordinary physical activity, comfortable at rest
Class III: marked limitation in less than ordinary physical activity, comfortable at rest
Class IV: inability to carry out physical activity without discomfort
Describe the objective classifications of cardiac disease
Class A: no evidence of diseases, symptoms, limitations
Class B: evidence of minimal disease, mild symptoms, light limitations
Class C: moderate/severe disease, marked limitations, only comfortable at rest
Class D: severe disease and limitations with symptoms at rest
Surgical intervention where a small balloon tipped catheter is run through the femoral artery to the coronary artery to open the vessels with placement of a intraventricular stent
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA)
Surgical intervention where the coronary artery is circumvented using anastomosing graft; deconditioning is common
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Arterial disease with diminished bloody supply to extremities with pulse decreased or absent (typically LE’s); in early stages there is intermittent claudication relieved with rest; in late stages there is resting pain and muscle atrophy
Occlusive peripheral artery disease
Arterial disease with inflammation of small arteries and veins; starts distally and progresses proximally in UEs and LEs; leads to pain, paresthesia, cold, poor temperature sensation, ulceration, and gangrene; affects young males who smoke
Thomboangitis Obliterans (buergers disease)
Venous disease with inflammation of veins and formation of thrombus with progressive inflammation, tenderness to palpation, changes in LE color, temperature, circumference, and appearance; life threatening and requires immediate medical attention
Deep vein thombosis (DVT)
A common disease secondary to Tuberculosis that causes vertebral collapse and spinal compression
Roods disease
COPD leads to (increased/decreased) expiratory rate
decreased
To improve respiratory rate for an individual with COPD, what should you instruct them to do?
breathe out on exertion, lean forward, talk during therapy
Chronic obstructive disease with permanent abnormal enlargement of air space which damages functional units of gas exchange; lungs lose elasticity. Symptoms include dyspnea, poor exertion, diminished breath sounds, wheezing, prolonged expiratory phase and turning reddish in color
Emphysema
chronic progressive lung disease characterized by production of abnormal mucous that become thick and sticky; impacts exercise, nutrition, and development
Cystic fibrosis
Normal heart rate for infants and adults
120 bpm (infants); 60-100 (adults)
Normal blood pressure for infants, 6 year olds, and adults
75/50 (infants) 105/60 (6 years) 120/80 (adults)
Normal respiratory rate for infants and adults
40 br/min (infants) 12-20 br/min (adults)
Condition resulting in decreased blood pressure as a result of positional changes; change in 20 systolic and 10 diastolic requires attention
Otrhostatic hypotension
MET level characterized by performing light upper body tasks for a short period of time
Stage I: 1.0 - 1.5
MET level characterized by seated ADLs, easy transfers, and slow ambulation; acute care assessment would start here
Stage 2: 1.5 - 2.0
MET level characterized by performing seated ADLs and IADLs for an extended period of time; warm showers;
Stage 3: 2.0 - 3.0
MET level characterized by slow ambulation as tolerated and light IADLs; standing warm shower; discharge from acute care at the end of this stage
Stage 4: 3.0 - 3.5
MET level characterized by performing medium IADLs in standing (dishes, laundry, carrying)
Stage 5: 3.5 - 4.0
MET level characterized by performing moderate activity (changing linens, gardening); standing hot shower; start outpatient therapy at this stage
Stage 6: 4.0 - 5.0
MET level characterized by heavy IADLs and sexual activity
5.0 - 6.0
Pulmonary condition characterized by insufficient production of surfactant to keep aveoli open; lung collapse after each breath
Respiratory distress syndrome
Pulmonary condition characterized by the walls of immature lungs thickening making exchange of oxygen and CO2 difficult; often requires machines to breath
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
this chamber of the heart pumps blood via the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation
right ventricle
this chamber of the heart pumps blood via the aorta throughout the entire systemic circulation
left ventricle
when does atrial contraction occur and what is its function
during the last 1/3 of diastole
complete ventricular filling
transports oxygenated blood from areas of high to low pressure
arteries
transports unoxygenated blood from tissues back to heart
veins
atherosclerotic disease process that narrow lumen of the coronary arteries resulting in ischemia to the myocardium
coronary artery disease
mild/moderate substernal chest pain with discomfort possibly present in L arm, upper body, neck, back, and epigastric areas that usually lasts less than 20 minutes
angina pectoris
angina that is exertional and can be controlled by rest and a nitroglycerin tablet
stable angia
angina that cannot be controlled by rest or a nitroglycerin tablet and is not a result of exertion
unstable angina (crescendo)
angina caused by a vasospasm and controlled by nitroglycerin or calcium channel blockers (long term)
variant angina (Prinz metals)
with what medication may an individual not demonstrate the expected increase in heart rate during an activity requiring adjusted parameters and the use of an RPE scale
