Q

CF etiology

A
  • caused by abnormal CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein

  • accumulation of hyperviscous secretions
  • impaired clearance

-primary organs affected are respiratory and GI

Q

CF clinical manifestation pulmonary

A
  • chronic cough and sputum production
  • child is unable to expectorate the mucus because of increased viscosity which is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria
  • reduced oxygen can lead to cyanosis and hypoxia

Q

lung transplantation

A
  • first successful double lung transplant in 1987

Q

PT intervention

-airwayclearance

A
  • improved ventilation and gas exchange
  • limitation of tissue damage associated with chronic infection
  • always include huffing and coughing in airway clearance
  • percussion and postural drainage, positioning, active cycle of breathing etc

Q

Parent education

A
  • instruction on administration of techniques
  • assistance to make adjustment an dprovisions to ensure treatment adherence
  • dangers of unnecessarily shielding the child
  • infant with CF has typical physical and emotional development needs

Q

infancy signs and symptoms of CF

A
  • lungs morphologically normal at birth
  • within a few months, signs of impaired respiratory function may suggest bronchiolitis
  • pronounced wheezing
  • evidence of hyperinflation on x-ray
  • airflow obstruction due to: inflammation, mucosal edema, copious mucous secretion, incr airway tone

Q

infancy PT intervention

A
  • earlier intervention: allows for prevention of onset of progressive airway damage
  • incr adherence to therapy regimen
  • allows for early emphasis of preventon of repirtaory impairment
  • initial goal is prevention of obstructive mucus plugging

16
Q

cycle ergometer

A
  • progressive protocol can be done to determine VO2 max and peak work capacity
  • pros inexpensive, portable, safe, familiar exercise
17
Q

pre-school and school-age period intervention goals

A
  • improve exercise tolerance
  • secretion clearance
  • correction and mainatenance of posture
  • promote self efficacy and adherence
18
Q

HFCWO

A
  • inflatable vest attached to pump that generates high freq oscillations applied to external chest wall
  • creates a cough like expiratory flow bias that shears mucus form airway walls and encourages movement upward
19
Q

adolescence CF management

A
  • arrested sexual development and smaller than avg physical build can lead to incr feelings of isolation
  • poor adhearence to conventional PT
20
Q

autogenic drainage

A
  • control of inspiratory and expiratory airflow to generate maximum airflow within bronchi
  • 3 phases
  • “unstick” mucus in distal airway
  • ” collect” mucus in middle airways
  • “evacuate” from cetral airways
21
Q

CF ball therapy

A
  • means of postural exercises
  • means of WB exercises
  • means of aerobic fitness
  • improve balance
  • improve coordination
  • incr relaxation
22
Q

asolescence intervention posture

A
  • needed for efficient breathing mechnaics
  • Postural changes in CF associated with hyper inflated lungs
  • incr AP chest diameter
  • shoulder elevation
  • shoulder forward protraction
  • abdominal flexion
  • thoracic kyphosis
23
Q

asthma pathology

A
  • ocstructive lung disease caused by incr reaction of the airways to various stimuli
  • chronic inflammatory condition with acute exacerbations characterized by complex biomechanical , autonomic, and immunologic factors
24
Q

asthma 3 significant characteristics

A
  • airway inflammation
  • airway obstruction that is often reversible either spontaneously or with pharmacologic intervention
  • bronchial hyperresponsiveness to stimuli that are either intrinsic or extrinsic
25
asthma pathophysiology
- genetic component found, but des not account for all types and severity - abnormal mucous accumulation - hypertrophy of smooth muscle, increased # of goblet cells, and deposition of interstitial collagen found in some
26
astma diagnosis
- wheezing and rhonchi - coughing, difficulty breathing and chest tightness are worse at night or early morning - hyperexpansion of thorax - decr use of diaphragm
27
acute asthma attack
- increased respiratory rate - expiratory grunting - intercostal muscle retractions - nasal flaring - altered inspiratory-expiratory ratios - coughing - bluish color of lips and nails
28
NIH classification system step 1:
- intermittent - symptoms <1x/wk - brief exacerbations - nocturnal symptoms< 1x/mo - asymptomatic with normal lung function between exacerbations - FEV or PEFR>80% predicted
29
NIH classification system Step 2:
- mild persistent - symptoms >1x/wk, <1x/day - exacerbations affect activity an dsleep - nocturnal symptoms >2x/mo - FEV or PEFR >80%
30
NIH classification system step 3
- moderate persistent - daily symptoms - exacerbations affect activity and sleep - nocturnal symptoms >1x/wk - FEV or PEFR 60-80%
31
NIH classification step 4
- severe persistent - cont symptomps - frequent exacerbations - frequent nocturnal symptoms - physical activities limited by symptoms - FEV or PEFR <60%
32
Pulmonary function tests
- compared to predicted values based on age, sex and height - may test after use of bronchodilator - incr residual volume and functional residual capacity - PEFR can be measured at home with a peak flow meter
33
asthma impairments of infancy and early childhood
- diagnosis not typically made until 3-6 years of age - PFT can usually be performed around age 6 with child cooperation - Hx of wheezy bronchitis, croup, recurrent pneumonia, difficulty sleeping and RSV - high correlation with very low birth weight and prematurity
34
asthma impairments in childhood
- PFT is easier and more effective as diagnostic tool - major presenting sign is wheezing - associated with chronic or recurrent otitis media with effusion and GERD - some may exhibit symptoms only after exercise, at night or in cold air - PFT may be normal
35
asthma impairments in adolescence
- sympyoms typically decr | - may have significant impairments revealed on PFT measures
36
asthma treatment
- avoidance of triggers - bronchodilators: inhaled or injected - self monitoring - action plan shared with school - relaxation techniques - allergy shots - pharmacologic agents
37
asthma management techniques
- hydration - timing of medication with activity - proper warm up with EIA - breath control techniques
38
asthma PT interventions neuromuscular
- facilitate muscle recruitment for imporvedpatterns of stabilization and breathing
39
asthma PT intervention musculoskeletal
- Rib cage mobilization | - stretching and strnegthening
