Exam and Eval 1 Flashcards
Review their medical history - includes what
Hx of present illness PMH Lab values and tests Medications Contraindications for exercise
Hx of present illness includes
Diagnosis Date of admit Date of event or course of events Current medical status Hx of present illness Surgical procedures Medications
PMH - prior cardiovascular or pulmonary disease - primary risk factors for pulmonary disease
Smoking, environmental exposure, family history of asthma, alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
PMH - prior cardiovascular or pulmonary disease - primary risk factors for cardiovascular disease
Obestiy, HPTN, Smoking, Sedentary lifestyle, family hx, cholesterol over 200 alone and especially if combined with family hx
Social history - what are we looking for to progress our treatment
their goals, their previous function, where they are going after, will they have help, are they a caregiver for anyone
Purpose of lab tests
Complete risk factor profile Presence of illness Diagnosis of event Determine cardiac anatomy Assess LV function Evaluate success of intervention Preoperative risk profile
Red blood cells
Male
Female
Male 25-35 ml/kg
Female 20-30 ml/kg
COPD, altitude, anemia - high or low RBCs
COPD, altitude = higher
Anemia = lower
Hemoglobin
Males
Females
Males = 14-17 gm/dl Female = 12-16 gm/dl
COPD high or low hemoglobin
higher
Hemoglobin - when do we not treat (for heart patients)
If not surgical patient, don’t treat under 8
If surgical, don’t treat under 7
Hematrocrit
M
F
male = 41-51% female = 36-44%
Hematocrit - COPD
higher
Also with other lung disease
WBC count norm
3,900 - 10, 700 cells/mm
What would make WBC count higher
infection
internal injury
Platelets - norm
150,000 to 400,000 (avg 300,000)
Platelets - chemo
lower
Arterial blood gas analysis - pH
7.35 - 7.45
Arterial blood gas analysis - PaO2
80-100 mmHg
Arterial blood gas analysis - PaCO2
35-45 mmHg
Arterial blood gas analysis - HCO3
22-26 MEq/l
Arterial blood gas analysis - SpO2
over 90%
Respiratory acidosis - pH PaCO2 HCO3 Disease
Low pH
inc PaCO2
normal HCO3
Hypoventilating?, lung disease like COPD
Respiratory alkalosis - pH PaCO2 HCO3 Disease
high pH
low PaCO2
little high HCO3
Fever
Metabolic acidosis - pH PaCO2 HCO3 Disease
low pH
normal PaCO2
dec HCO3
dec CO and renal failure
Metabolic alkalosis pH PaCO2 HCO3 Disease
high pH
norm/high PaCO2
greater than 27 HCO3
Respirator insufficiency
How will pt present if CO2 is high
confused
resp acidosis
Cultures
Strep
Staph
TB
acute stage of metabolic acidosis - we will not work with - T or F
TRUE
Cultures - strep can lead to pt becoming
resistant to medications that they are taking for these
Need to put on isolation equipment
