Exam and Eval 3 and 4 Flashcards
Tx for hypertension - what medications
Diuretics Beta blockers Alpha adrenergic blockers VD Ca channel blockers
Tx for hypertension - medications - impact of diuretics
they will be dry
fatigued
Tx for hypertension - medications - impact of beta blockers
blunt their response to activity - they will not tolerate as much
Tx for hypertension - when on medications for it it is important to be monitoring their
ECG and recognize if arrhythmias pop up
What other treatment besides medication for hypertension
exercise - both aerobic and resistance
weight control
limit Na intake
Hypertension - abnormal response to exercise - pts with normal or borderline HTN may have…
excessive inc in sys or dias with activity because of failure to reduce TPR
Hypertension - abnormal response to exercise - pts with moderate HTN may have
exaggerated response to isometric and isotonic exercise due to blunted decrease in TPR
They may be unable to inc CO
Hypertension - abnormal response to exercise - pts with severe HTN
further impairment of CO and increased TPR
PT - working with patients who have HPTN
Monitor BP frequently Avoid vasalva Know med side effects Use RPE Educate! Caution with sudden changes in position
Pulmonary HPTN - defined as how many mmHg above normal
5-10
Pulmonary HPTN - leads to
hypertrophy of R heart
Pulmonary HPTN - TX
nothing known
usually Ca channel blockers
O2 therapy
Lung transplant
Pulmonary HPTN - PT
Monitor BP Avoid vasalva Know med side effects Use RPE Educate! Caution with sudden position change
Pulmonary Edema - ___ first and then ___
Interstitium first and then the alveoli
Impacts oxygen saturation moving across membranes
Two main causes of pulm edema
Inc capillary pressure from L vent failure
Inc capillary permeability (ARDs)
Pulm Edema - TX
O2
Venodilators to dec preload
Diuretics to dec venous return
Possibly ventilator
Pul Edema - PT
Gradual inc in activity when stable and have the fluid off
Progress to 30 min aerobic ex (OP)
Monitor all vitals! (HR may be a little high)
Chronic bronchitis - tx
BD Steroids Expectorants Antibiotics Beta blockers Diuretics Antiarrhythmics
Chronic Bronchitis - things to be aware of with them
they will be fatigued, coughing a lot, and be careful about their skin
Chronic bronchitis - PT
Educate Reduce work of breathing Conditioning Monitoring Chest wall mobility Body positions Coughing maneuvers Relaxation
Asthma - TX
BD and antiinflammatories
O2
Corticosteroids
IV fluids
Asthma - PT
Educate Body positioning Slow mobilization Secretion removal Optimize strength and endurance max QOL Know meds Mobility, ROM, relaxation, stress management
Asthma - PT - what are we educating them on
their triggers, upright positioning, coughing, maybe suctioning
Asthma - PT - exercise prescription parameters are set where
below their threshold
Cystic Fibrosis - is what
Multisystem disorder y an autosomal recessive gene that effects the exocrine glands - involves all major organ systems
Cystic fibrosis - leads to what
ventilatory impairment, chronic airflow limitation
They have a ton of secretions in their lungs so their ventilation is impaired
Cystic fibrosis - TX
Exercise Nutritional eval Antibiotics BD Lung or lung and heart transplant
Cystic Fibrosis - PT
Exercise tolerance varies Strength and endurance ex Postural drainage Autogenic drainage Controlled cough techniques Airway clearance Postural changes Positioning
Pulmonary fibrosis - TX
Reduce inflammation
Corticosteroids, immunosuppressives, O2
Remove them from environment contributing to the fibrosis
Can do lung transplant - but not effective long term
Pulm Fibrosis - PT
Body positioning Modified ex program Pulm rehab program Max QOL Reduce work of breathing Inc strength and peripheral oxygen extraction Education
