Q

What are techniques that PTs can use to assist ventilatory pump dysfunction (precursor to pump failure, increased reliance on accessory muscles, weakness of diaphram)?

Q

For patients with pump dysfunction, if O2sat goes below __ we stop exercise

A

88

The goal of supplemental oxygen is to maintain atleast 88-92% without giving TOO much oxygen which can supress the drive to breath from the CNS

Q

How can PTs help ventilatory pump failure patients?

A

Make sure they can expand properly for breathes

try to reduce accessory muscle use (diaphramatic breathing)

Q

What signifies the end stage of respiratory failure

A

paradoxical brathing (hoovers sign)

Abdomen and ribcage no longer expand together, and now theyre moving in opposite directions (one goes in while the other goes out)

17
Q

For patient’s with end stage pump failure or patients experiencing dyspnia how should we position them?

A

Position of recovery: leaning foward

Helps move diaphram upward so diaphram can descend and draw in breath

19
Q

How else can we move the diaphgram upward for a patient experiencing pump failure?

A

Scooping technique

20
Q

Why would a spinal cord patient use an abdominal binder

A

It replaces the pressure that the abdominal muscles would be providing to keep the diaphram up

w/o the abdominal binder their diaphram might rest too low

21
Q

If someone has a flail segment of ribs (3 or more ribs) what is the danger?

A

ribs might puncture lungs

22
Q

Pulmonary Artery hypertension critera

A

greater than 20 at rest

greater than 30 with exercise

23
Q

How is pulmonary arterial pressue monitored

A

Swan Gantz cathered

24
Q

5 groups of pulmonary hypertension

A

-idiopathic

-caused by R heart failure

-Caused by lung disorders

-pulmonary embolus

-other diseases

25
Q

At what pulmonary hypertension level do you stop exercise

A

40-50 watch and pay attention to symptoms and stop the intensity of the exercise

26
Q

What happens if a patient gets a spike of pulmonary artery pressure

A

Dizzy/light headed/ loss of conciousness
(happens very quick)

Sharp drop of SpO2

27
Q

Treatment for poor oxygenaiton

A

Supplemental O2

Bronchodilators

Teaching airway clearance techniques

28
Q

Treatment for Ventilatory pump dysfunction

A

Supplemental O2,

Facilitated breathing techniques (teach diaphramagtic breathing)

Exercise training

29
Q

Ventilatory Pump Failure treatment

A

Foward lean

Facilitatory/inhibitory breathing techniques

Pursed Lip

Breathing Techniques

Ventilatory muscle training

Abdominal Binder

30
Q

T or F, patients w/ pulmonary artery hypertension cannot take bronchodilators

A

True, because it will further raise the blood pressure

31
Q

What muscles is it the hardest to get oxygen to?

A

Lower limbs

32
Q

Acceptable Parameters for PT intervention:

A

Under RR over 40 at rest (dont work with patients 40+ RR)

HR 60-120 at rest, able to speak comfortably (120+ no go)

Pulse oximetry over 90

Need for supplemental O2 to keep SPO2 over 0

33
Q

Reasons to stop or modify PT intervention

A

Unable to speak comfortably

SPO2 under 85

HR drops more than 10BPM

SBP drops over 10mmHG

Guy’s i promise you this is going to be the majority of the questions lmao (no promises!)

34
Q

Giving a patient too much O2 can do what?

A

Reduce drive to breathe by CNS

35
Q

What is the preferable method of training respiratory patients

A

Short bursts of activity with many rest breaks, activity becomes longer overtime

(interval walking)

36
Q

What preformance tests are good for establishing someone’s muscular endurance?

A

6MWT

2MWT

30Second STS for LE muscular endurance

37
Q

Overall Exercise Perscription for non-acute COPD patient

A

Strength training 2 times a week

60-70% 10-15 reps

Aerobic 3-5x a week

Emphasis on interval training using BORG scale

38
Q

Why is it important to work on muscular strength with lung patients

A

Muscles become more efficient at using oxygen

39
Q

What kind of exercises should we use to help a patient correct posture after a lot of sitting and hunching over

A

Upper back

40
Q

an RPE of __________ is good for patients with COPD/lung problems

A

3-6

15-20 reps

41
Q

Why cant you use heartrate as a gauge of exertion for COPD patients?

A

HR is already very high at rest

42
Q

It is important to have a patient on _____________ for initial exercise training sessions

A

Pulse Ox

43
Q

What is MVV

A

Maximum ventilatory volume

Amount of air in and out in 1 minute

44
Q

MMV should never be more then __% of predicted MMV for a patient

A

70%

If you see an exercise test with more than 70% that means that respiratory system was the limiting factor

45
Q

If a patient is less than __% of predicted inspiration muscle strength, this indicates clinical weakness of respiratory muscles

A

50%
