Q

Hiatal Hernia

PT Implications/Guidelines:

Whats a GREAT INTERVENTION TO USE???? You can also modify it to seated since they should NOT be in supine?????

Q

Hiatal Hernia

PT implications/guidelines

A

26
Q

GERD

PT implications/guidelines:

ALL (then broken down w/ ?’s)

A

Q

GERD

PT IMPLICATIONS:

LEFT sidelying….why?

A

Stomach on left side!

LESS likely to go back up into esophagus!!

28
Q

GERD

PT implications

Exercise rx…. why?

A

Strenuous exercise can irritate/cause sx’s!!!

29
Q

Gallbladder

FACTS:

A
  • Reservoir for bile
  • Stores/concentrates bile during fasting pds

    • diet, esp. FATS
33
Q

Acute Cholecystitis aka

A

Inflamed Gallbladder

34
Q

Acute Cholecystitis aka Inflamed Gallbladder

What is it?

A

Impaction of gallstones in cystic duct

  • Obstructs bile flow
  • Painful distention of gallbladder
35
Q

Acute Cholecystitis aka Inflamed Gallbladder

S/S:

    • the sound waves one
37
Q

Biliary Disease

PT Implications + Exercise Guidelines

A

Physical activity may prevent symptomatic cholelithiasis (gallstones)

  • 30 mins of endurance activity/day
  • 5d/week
38
Q

Biliary Disease

PT Implications

Post-op Cholecystectomy interventions:

A

Chest PT, breathing retraining, exercise activity, wound splinting

**Remember they just had stomach cut open!!!

39
Q

Label this Image!

40
Q

Liver = POWERHOUSE

FACTS

A
  • > 500 functions!
  • Key organ w/ gut in nutrient absorption/metabolism*
  • 500-1500 mL bile/day
  • Produces clotting factors
  • Sole source→ albumin, plasma PROs
  • Conversion/excretion bilirubin→ too much = jaundice
