Final: Cardiopulm OMT Flashcards
What MSK condition can hamper cardiopulmonary function?
Scoliosis
What is the Cobb angle of mild, moderate, and severe scoliosis?
Mild: 5-15
Moderate: 20-45
Severe: 50+
What Cobb angle would cause respiratory issues?
> 50
What Cobb angle would cause cardiac issues?
> 75
What would an increase in sympathetic tone do to lymphatic flow?
Decrease
-therefore cause congestion
T spine levels of sympathetics to the heart? Pysm?
T1-T6 for sym, vagus for Psym
-both come together at the cardiac plexus to affect the heart
how do sympathetics affect coronary blood flow?
Actually vasodilate coronary arteries to get more blood to heart
Psym would constrict
What arrhythmias does an increase in sympathetic cause? both R and L heart
R=SVT
L=V. fib
What arrhythmias does an increase in parasympathetic cause? both R and L heart
R=sinus bradycardia
L=AV block
According to Treffer, both relaxation and constriction of the bronchioles is mainly controlled by which branch of the ANS?
PSym
-M3=bronchoconstriction
-increase in NO, VIP
=Bronchodilation
Chapmans points for Heart and Lungs (U and L lobes)
Heart: 2ICS, T2 post
Lungs:
- Bronchus: 2ICS, T2 post
- upper: 3ICS, T3, T4 post
- lower: 4ICS, T5
What technique can you do to decrease SVR?
Paraspinal inhibition
-less sympathetic tone
What is the biggest treatment for HTN?
Neurologic:
Paraspinal inhibition, OA release
What is the biggest treatment for CHF?
Respiratory/Circulatory:
Rib raising, lymphatics (Thoracic inlet, diaphragm)
What is the best treatment for arrythmias?
Neurologic:
- Paraspinal inhibition, OA
- Valsalva/carotid sinus massage
