Q

cardiac rehab

A

coordinated sum of interventions required to ensure the best physical, psychological and social conditions so pts w/ chronic or post acute CV disease may, BY THEIR OWN EFFORTS, preserve or resume optimal functioning in society, and through improved health behaviors, slow or reverse progression of disease

Q

Inpatient Rehab Goals: PHASE I

A
  • Mobilize ASAP to prevent effects of bed rest
  • Educate on risk factors, CAD, ex intolerance
  • progress activity (4 MET level)
  • prepare to return home
  • independent in HEP

14
Q

If you cant use HR (bc of cardiac transplants, pacemakers, beta blockers), what would you use?

A

RPE 12-13
or an increase of 2 or 3 on 7-20 borg scale

15
Q

What is the functional capacity met level for phase III cardiac rehab

A

at least 5 METS

16
Q

Phase III structure

A
  • no direct medical supervision
  • less structure
  • more individualized
  • self monitoring
17
Q

Phase IV structure

A
  • for maintenance or improvement from Phase I and II
  • not supervised by PT
  • program set by PT
18
Q

Resistance Exercise Parameters

A
  • large muscle groups
  • light weight for 20 reps
  • if pt can do 30, increase rate

*less resistance for lesser BP response and strain on CV system

19
Q

Phases of Cardiac rehab exercise examples

A

Phase 1: constant intensity treadmill, cycle, rowing

Phase 2: varying intensity swimming, running, biking

Phase 3: game activity so intensity varies; sports LOW RISK PTS

20
Q

HIIT

A

interspersing intervals of exercise at greater than 85% of peak HR or workload w periods of low intensity of rest

21
Q

Why is HIIT better than MICE (mod intensity continuous activity) >

A
  • HIIT elicits greater changes in VO2Peak
  • HIIT appears safe and better tolerated
  • HIIT mimics short and long term peripheral and central adaptations
  • like walking and then going up a flight of stairs (more functional)
22
Q

Low Volume HIIT parameters and examples

A

<15 min
30 sec intervals-60 sec
60-80 min/wk
71% training response and higher
adherance

Examples: walking, side stepping, seated marching, seated dealing cards, reaching activities

23
Q

according to research, when should you start HIIT with a CVP patient?

A

after successful completion of 12-18 sessions of a supervised early CR program (PHASE II)

24
Q

Median sternotomy

A

midline incision: sternal notch to base of sternum

25
Q

common symptoms post CABG

A
  • increased fatigue
  • decreased MAX aerobic capacity
  • impaired gas exchange
  • shoulder pain
  • back pain
  • TTP and itching
  • pain during activity
26
Q

Activity limitations following CABG

A

decreased upright staning tolerance
impaired balance
impaired functional mobility (walking, transfers, stairs)

27
Q

Participation restrictions following CABG

A
  • adls and work
  • family roles and responsibilities
  • recreation and leisure activities
  • community life
  • intimate relationships
  • QoL
28
Q

Sternal Complications

A
  • dehiscence,
  • infection
  • sternal instability
29
Q

Sternal Instability Scale

A

0: clinically stable sternum - normal w no motion
1: minimally separated sternum - slight increase in mvmt
2: partial separated sternum
3: completely separated sternum - entire length

30
Q

Sternal Precautions

A
  • completely or partially decrease use of arms during everyday stress
  • prevent skin shear

no pushing, pulling, lifting >10 lbs
no bilateral shoulder flexion of abd >90
no driving
no prone
no bilateral UE ext past neutral

31
Q

How long post op can you scar massage

A
  • 6 wks assuming incision is fully healed
  • perpendicular, circular, and parallel

we want to gradually increase endurance tolerance to ____ HRR during phase 1

A
