Chapter 8 Flashcards

1
Q

What is CPT?

A

A variety of techniques aimed at the
mobilization of pulmonary secretions and
promotion of greater use of the respiratory
muscles, which should result in the in an
increase in the distribution of ventilation.

Q

What is intrapulmonary percussive ventilation?

A

An airway clearance technique that uses a small
pnuematic ventilator to deliver a series of small
VTs at a high frequency (110-225 cycles/min)

18
Q

What can be given through the metaneb?

A

Aerosolized meds and 02

19
Q

How long does a metneb treatment last?

A

10 min

20
Q

What are the 2 modes of metneb?

A

CPEP & CHFO

21
Q

What is CPEP (continuous positive expiratory
pressure)?

A

A mode that provides nebulized meds and
hyperinflation therapy for 2.5 minutes.

22
Q

What is the CHFO (continuous high frequency
oscillation).

A

A mode that provide nebulized meds and
continuous pulses of positive pressure to
mobilize secretions for 2.5 minutes.

23
Q

Both treatments are repeated 2.5 minutes each
to complete the full time of how long?

A

10 min

24
Q

What are some indications for the metaneb?

A

COPD
CF
Asthma
Bronchiectasis
Neuromuscular disorders
Post-op airway management
Atelectasis
Chest wall trauma (when percussion
would be painful)

25
Q

How long is the duration of HFCWO?
What is the frequency?

A

30 min
5-25 Hz (300-1500 cycles/min)

26
Q

What are some therapeutic affects of PEP?

A

Improved distribution of inspired volume in
the lung by means of collateral air
channels (pores of Khon)
Prevention of expiratory airway collapse
Generation of pressure on exhalation in an
are distal to the site of mucous obstruction

27
Q

What are some contraindications to PEP?

A

Acute sinusitis
Middle ear infection
Epistaxis (nose bleed)
Recent facial, oral, or skull injury or surgery
Active hemoptysis

28
Q

What is the appropriate expiratory resistor?

A

10-20cmH20

29
Q

The patient should perform how many PEP
breaths?

A

10-20

30
Q

How many huff coughs should the patient
perform?

A

2-3

31
Q

How many times is the procedure repeated?

A

4-6

32
Q

If the pressure seems to be ineffective what
should you do?

A

Increase the PEP to 3-5 cmH2O

33
Q

The patient should produce a PEP between
what?

A

10-25 cmH2O

34
Q

How long should patient hold flutter valve
breath?

A

2-3 sec

35
Q

The flutter valve technique should be repeated
how many times?

A

5-10 times

36
Q

How should the flutter valve be cleaned?

A

every 2 days in 1:3 solution for 15 minutes dried
and reassembled.

37
Q

Directed cough will not be effective in which
patients?

A

paralyzed, obtunded, uncooperative, COPD,
degenerative muscular disorders, neuromuscular
disorders

38
Q

The patient should be taught to do what for
directed cough?

A

inhale slowly

39
Q

MIE delivers a pressure of what?
Over what period?

A

30-50cmH20
1-3 second period

40
Q

The pressure is then reversed to what?
For how long?

A

-30-50 cmH2O
2-3 seconds

41
Q

MIE is contraindicated in what patients?

A

COPD

42
Q

For quad coughing the pressure should never be
applied to what?

A

The ribs or sternum

43
Q

For quad coughing what is the patient instructed
to do?

A

Take 3 deep breaths

44
Q

The quad coughing procedure should be related
until what?

A

Secretions are cleared
