CVP exercise prescription Flashcards
abnormal response to exercise - HR
increases >30 bpm above resting HR with mild exercise
decreases below resting HR
abnormal responses to exercise - systolic BP
increases > 20-30 mmHg above resting level
decreases > 10 mmHg below resting level
abnormal responses to exercise - diastolic BP
> /= 10 mmHg
norm - 0-10 mmHg > rest
abnormal responses to exercise
O2 drops below prescribed level
pt becomes severely SOB
RR increases to a level not tolerated by pt
ECG changes
60% Max HR
4.8 METS
80% max HR
6.4 METS
1 MET
3.5 ml O2/kg/min
max MET level on a GXT
8 METS
target HR 60% HR
Max HR x 0.60
for cardiac pts with a low functional capacity, initiate exercise programs at what level?
40-40% max HR
for pulmonary pts with a low functional capacity, initiate exercise programs at what level?
20-40% max HR
monitoring of intensity - duration
usually assessed as pts tolerance 5-15 mins
monitoring of intensity - frequency
1-2x/day due to likely decreased level of conditioning
dyspnea scale
1-5 assess SOB
1 = little breathlessness related to exercise
5 = severe breathlessness related to exercise
angina scale
scale 1 -5
1 = slight pain perception
5 = infarction pain
phase 1 of cardiac rehab
the inpatient program that begins soon after a cardiac event and finished when the patient is ready to go home from the hospital. the emphasis is on low-level exercise and education for the patient and family
