exam 2 Flashcards
is polio a UMN or LMN
LMN
nmeumonic on how to remember blood gasses
“ROME”
Respiratory
Oppisite
Metablic
Equal
if ph is normal = compensated
if ph is abdnormal = uncompensated
if all 3 componets (ph, CO2, HCO3) are NOT normal = partially compensated
common sign of respiratory alkalsis
hyperventilition which can cause a reduction in CO2.
you need to give your pt reassurance and relaxed breathing. you can also give them a paper bag/rebreather mask to help. pain control is also essential a this can decrease hyperventilation
when is sodium bicarbinate used?
respiratory alkalosis
what movements are decreased with avascular necrosis
flexion
IR
ABduction
“FABIR”
conjugate gaze center looks at what
can be horizontal or vertical
you have them look to the same direction
if they cant follow (looking to the R) for example, R Abducens is affected
ultrasound needed for deep and superficial structures (MHz)
superficial: 3MHz
deep: 1MHz
pulsed US vs continuous US
pulse: acute
continuous: chronic
pulsed=non-thermal. continuous=thermal
physiological changes with pregnancy and aerobic exercise
- respiration rate will not increase proportionally with mod to severe exercise
- hematocrit levels will be lowered (however will rise with vigorous exercise)
- decrease cardiac reserve
- SV and CO will increase with steady state
normal Q angle
13-18
what characteristics are seen with an increase Q angle
femoral anteversion
geni valgum
lateral patellar tracking
abnormal femoral torsion
hyper pronated foot = toe in
bone healing times
- children
- adolecents
- adults
- children: 4-6 weeks
- adolecents: 6-8 weeks
- adults: 10-18 week
cubital tunnel syndrome
ulnar nerve
a neuropathy of the ulnar nerve causing symptoms of numbness and shooting pain along the medial aspect of the forearm, also including the medial half of the fourth digit and the fifth digit. It is caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow region.
Guyon Canal syndrome
ulnar nerve
a relatively rare peripheral ulnar neuropathy that involves injury to the distal portion of the ulnar nerve as it travels through a narrow anatomic corridor at the wrist. The ulnar nerve originates from C8-T1
characteristics of pulmonary fibrosis
dry hacking cough
fatigue
mm weakness
SOB
weight loss due to loss of apetite
anterior STT
Lateral STT
anterior STT: crude touch
Lateral STT: pain and temp
LPT - licensed PT, lateral pain temp
A STT: also is for itch and sexual sensations
spinocerebellar tract
unconcious proprioception info from mm spindles, golgi tendons, and touch and pressure from the cerebellum for control of voluntary movements
spinoreticular tract
conveys deep and chronic pain to reticular formation of the brainstem
spondylolisthesis
fwd displacement of one vertebra over another
sondylolysis
defect in the pars interarticularis or the arch of the vertebra
guidelines of exercising and dialysis
- can exercise within the first hour of dialysis to avoid hypotensive episodes
- 3-5 METS without discomfort
- RPE used
- no exercising after dialysis
how do sodium channel blockers work
block fast sodium which slow the conduction in fast channel tissues
they also treat arryhthmias
how do calcium channel blockers work
they interrupt the movement of calcium inot the heart and blood vessel tissue.
they are used to treat high blood pressure, angina and arrhthmias
how do ACE inhibitors work
highly selective drugs that interrupt a chain of molecular messengers that constrict blood vessels
they can improve cardiac function in individuals with HF and are used for patients with DM or early kidney damage
how do beta blockers work
decrease HR and CO which lowers the patient’s BP by blocking the effects of adrenalin.
used to treat arrhythmias and angina pectoris
reticulospinal tract
infuence mm tone and reflex activity via influence on the mm spindle activity. great influence on posture and gait
medial medullary syndrome
ipsilateral paralysis of tongue due to CN 12
contralateral paralysis of UE/LE due to effect of CST
NYHA classifications
1: no limation of physical activity
2: slight limation of physical activity/ comfortable at rest but ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpation of dyspnoea
3: slight limation of physical activity/ comfortable at res tbut less than ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpation of dyspnoea
4: unable to carry out any PA without discomfort
respiratory acidosis can be caused by what other etiologies.
what are the sign and symptoms?
chest trauma
L CHF
COPD
airway obstruction
visual disturbance, confusion, dizziness, decreased DTRs, ventricular fibrilation
metabolic acidosis characteristics
can be caused by: diabetic acidosis
