Ch 9 - Pulmonary Rehabilitation Flashcards
What does exercise cause regarding oxygenation?
Inc arterial venous oxygen (AVO2) difference by increasing oxygen extraction from arterial circulation
What are benefits of pulmonary rehab?
Inc exercise tolerance, work output, mech efficiency
Red dyspnea and RR
Inc ambulation capacity
Dec hosp rates
Which patients benefit the most from pulmonary rehab regarding exercise limitation?
Respiratory limitation of exercise at 75% of predicted maximum O2 consumption
Which patients benefit the most from pulmonary rehab regarding obstructive airway disease?
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) <2,000 mL or an FEV1/FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) ratio <60%
Which patients benefit the most from pulmonary rehab regarding restrictive airway disease?
Restrictive lung disease or pulmonary vascular disease with carbon monoxide diffusion capacity <80% of predicted value
What is Moser Classification 1?
Normal at rest
Dyspnea on strenuous exertion
What is Moser Classification 2?
Normal ADL performance
Dyspnea on stairs/inclines
What is Moser Classification 3?
Dyspnea with certain ADLs
Able to walk 1 block at slow pace
What is Moser Classification 4?
Dependent with some ADLs
Dyspnea with minimal exertion
What is Moser Classification 5?
Housebound
Dyspnea at rest
Assistance with most ADLs
What do central chemoreceptors monitor?
Hypercarbia in CSF
What do peripheral chemoreceptors monitor?
Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pH levels in the blood
What is the primary muscle of inspiration and its innervation?
Diaphragm
Phrenic nerve
What are accessory muscles of inspiration?
SCM Trapezius Pectoralis major External intercostals Scalene muscles
What are active muscles of expiration?
Typically passive
Abdominal
Internal intercostals
What is VO2 max?
Max volume of O2 that can be utilized in 1 minute during maximal or exhaustive exercise
How is VO2 max measured?
Milliliters of oxygen used in 1 min/kg of body weight
How is VO2 max calculated?
VO2 max = (HR × SV) × AVO2 difference
What is COPD characterized by?
Inc airway resistance due to bronchospasm, which may result in air trapping, low maximum mid-expiratory flow rate, and normal to increased compliance
How can hypoxemia result from COPD?
Possible perfusion-ventilation mismatching
How can COPD present clinically?
Inc airway resistance
Impaired expiratory airflow
Respiratory muscle fatigue
Flattening of the diaphragm seen on chest x-ray due to increased total and residual lung volumes
What is the MCC of COPD?
Cigarette smoking
What is chronic bronchitis?
Chronic mucus hypersecretion and respiratory infections as a result of tracheobronchial mucous gland enlargement
Describe mucus production in chronic bronchitis.
> 100 mL of sputum/day for >3 months, for at least 2 consecutive years
What is emphysema?
Distention of air spaces distal to the terminal nonrespiratory bronchioles with destruction of alveolar walls
What therapy improves mortality in hypoxic patients?
Oxygen
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
AR dz involving the chloride ion channels found in exocrine glands
What causes respiratory failure in Cystic Fibrosis?
Failure to adequately remove secretions from the bronchioles, resulting in widespread bronchiolar obstruction and subsequent bronchiectasis, overinflation, and infection
What does exercise cause in Cystic Fibrosis?
Inc sputum expectoration
Inc ciliary beat with improved mucous transport
Describe exercise limitation with FEV1 between 2-3L.
Mild exercise limitation (able to walk significant distances, but not at high speed)
