Q

What happens when the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated

A

Norepinephrine increases activity of the heart by increasing HR and force of contraction Coronary arteries dilate/ Peripheral arteries constrict = increasing peripheral vascular resistance

Q

What happens when the parasympathetic system is stimulated?

A

By way of the vagus nerve slows HR, decreases force of artial contraction, decreases speed of conduction through the AV node In extremities: vasodilation on bowel bladder, & genitals

86
Q

Exercise program for patients with heart failure

A

Exercise mode: the exercise prescription will include some form of aerobic exercise Brisk walking can elicit an adequate training effect in many patients with heart failure Exercise frequency and duration: severely compromised patients may require a longer rest interval between exercise sessions, with gradual progression Exercise prescription in all patients always includes adequate warm-up and cool-down periods Exercise intensity: generally, patients with heart failure can tolerate an initial intensity ranging from 40% to 70% of peak Vo2 Exercise progression: patients with a low initial exercise capacity will generally make faster initial progress than those who start at a high functional capacity Isometric resistance exercise should be avoided in patients with heart failure because it increases afterload on the heart Moderate resistive training in combination with aerobic exercise may be safe in this population Interval training allows the muscles to work harder than they could with steady-state exercise without excessively stressing the cardiovascular system

Restrictive Lung Disease

A

a group of diseases w/ differing etiologies that result in difficulty expanding the lungs and a reduction in lung volumes

105
Q

Lung restriction can arise from….

A
  1. Diseases of the alveolar parenchyma or pleura 2. Changes in chest wall 3. An alteration in the neuromuscular apparatus of the thorax
106
Q

What causes restrictive lung disease

A

Radiation therapy Inorganic dust inhalation of noxious gases Oxygen toxicity Asbestos exposure

107
Q

What physical changes result from a restrictive lung disease

A

Lung parenchyma becomes inflammed and alveoli and interstitium become thickened. This causes the airspaces to become fibrosed and more resistant to expansion. Consequently reducing lung volume

108
Q

A

is an effective means of removing secretions and is critically important for the individual with airway clearance dysfunction

153
Q

When is it recommended to use huffing ?

Huffing has been recommended in lieu of coughing because it is thought to reduce the physical work of the activity but research has not shown huffing to be any more energy efficient than coughing

154
Q

Postural drainage manual techniques

A

Chest percussion, vibration, and shaking aka- chest physiotherapy, chest PT, postural drainage, or bronchial drainage

155
Q

Purpose of percussion and vibration techniques

A

Performed to loosen accumulated secretions Intended to enhance movement of secretions to the more proximal airways during positioning for gravity-assisted postural drainage

156
Q

How to perform percussion technique?

A

Percussion involves rhythmically clapping with a cupped hand for 2-5 minutes over the appropriate area of thorax being drained by gravity

157
Q

How to perform vibration technique?

A

involves placing one’s hands on the area previously percussed and having the patient perform several deep breaths using sustained maximal inspiration as in the ACBT maneuver

158
Q

Mechanical devices for airway clearance

A

The Flutter and the Acapella are vibratory positive expiratory pressure devices that add oscillation during the expiratory cycle of PEP breathing Percussors and vibrators have been shown to produce similar changes in patients with CF in both pulmonary function and secretion production as unassisted manual airway clearance techniques alone but with less effort

159
Q
