Hospital OMM Flashcards
Conclusion from the immediate affects of OMT in the elderly with COPD study?
“Results suggest an overall worsening of air trapping during the 30 minutes immediately following one multi-technique OMT session relative to the sham group.”
When performing a musculoskeletal/structural examination address ________ first and then ________. Work from ________ to ________.
Autonomics, lymphatics, central, peripheral
Conclusion for the Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (ACCEL) study?
“PCI did not reduce death, MI, or other major CV events when added to OMT.”
________’s position promotes a decrease in musculoskeletal tension, enhanced baroreflex, influences vagus nerve activity, increases drainage post abdominal surgery, and facilitates respiratory effort.
Fowler
Tachyarrythmias can help be addressed by focusing on sympathetic outflow to which levels?
T1-T2, ribs 1, 2
For a patient in a hospital bed, raising the head of the bed to 45-60 degrees, flexing the hips, and bending the knees is known as ________’s position.
Fowler
Conclusion of the postoperative ileus study?
“OMT applied after a major gastrointestinal operation is associated with decreased time to flatus and decreased postoperative hospital LOS.”
Conclusion for the Multicenter Osteopathic Pneumonia Study in the Elderly (MOPSE) trial?
“…significant reductions in length of stay, duration of intravenous antibiotics, and respiratory failure or death when OMT was compared to conventional care only.”
When treating COPD, the levels of sympathetic innervation that should be focused on are from ________.
T2-T6
Conclusion of the OMT effectiveness in severe COPD study?
“…suggests that OMT + pulmonary rehabilitation may improve exercise capacity and reduce RV in severely impaired COPD patients with respect to pulmonary rehabilitation alone.”
