Intervention Flashcards
Pulmonary rehab objectives
Pt. education
- disease process
- medications
- risk factor reduction (smoking cessation)
- stress management
- energy conservation
Exercise training
- flexibility/posture
- strength
- balance
- inspiratory muscle training
Breathing retraining and ACT
Psychosocial screen
Nutrition
Pulmonary rehab FITT
Frequency: daily or 3-5x/week
Intensity: RPE goal of 3-5
- all other VS are normal
- moderate to severe
- are symptoms SOB or weakness
- oxygen >/= 89%
Time: Progress to >/= 150 min/week moderate intensity
Type: interval training (!!), ADL retraining, aerobic, progressive resistance training, IMT
Pulmonary rehab benefits
reduced dyspnea
improve endurance/strength
improved health-related QOL
reduce readmission rate and hospital length of stay
DOES NOT improve PFT
Pulmonary STOP criteria
RPE > 5
SpO2 <89%
- consider breathing device/pattern
Cardiac rehab: Phase 1
Acute/hospital based
Immediately after cardiac event and confirmed pt. stability (24-48 hrs)
Cardiac rehab: Phase 1 GOALS
Evaluate physiologic response to self-care and ambulation activities
Achieve 3-5 METS activities (assess pt. response)
Provide guidance for safe progression of activity during recovery
Education
- risk factor modification
- self-monitoring techniques (HR, RPE, symptoms)
- activity guidelines (HEP)
Cardiac rehab: Phase 1 FITT
Frequency: daily
Intensity: RHR +20-50 bpm
- assume RHR is normal
- maintain <75% of 220-age (+/- 10-20 bpm)
- guideline: HR increases ~5-15 bpm/MET
- RPE 2-3 (light to moderate)
Time: >150 min/week light to moderate intensity
Type: AROM to light intensity resistance; progressive mobilization/ADL retraining
- bed mobility, transfers, gait, stairs
Cardiac rehab: Phase 2
Subacute (1-3 weeks following discharge)
36 session
2-3x/week for 12 weeks
ECG monitoring
Supervised exercise program
Structured education series
Cardiac rehab: Phase 2 FITT
Frequency: 3-5x/week
Intensity: target HR = %(0.5-0.85) x HRmax
- HRmax via 220-age or exercise test
Time: >/= 150 min/week moderate intensity
Type: aerobic, resistance training
Cardiac rehab benefits
Slow/reverse atherosclerotic disease
Decrease obesity
Improve cholesterol profile
Decrease inflammation
Improve mental health
Improve mortality
Exclusions to cardiac rehab
Unstable angina
Class IV heart failure
Uncontrolled sustained tachy or brady
Symptomatic aortic or mitral stenosis
Severe pulmonary hypertension
Conditions that could be aggravated by exercise
Cardiac STOP criteria
- Systolic BP drops >10 mmHG w/ increasing workload
- Diastolic changes > 10 mmHg
- > 75% AAMPHR +/- 10-20 bpm
- > 15 bpm/MET
- Unstable angina or related referred pain
- Desaturation
- RPE > 7
- Signs of inadequate CO
– dizziness/pallor
– confusion/balance changes
Sternal precautions
Weight restrictions: 5-10 lbs
UE ROM: stay in “tube”
Driving: 6-8 weeks
Wound/incision: “sternal click,” infection
Bracing w/ cough
ACT/BE indications

Disorders associated w/ hypersecretion of mucus (CF, bronchiectasis, COPD)
Ineffective mucociliary clearance or cough
Immobility/weakness
Dysphagia, frequent aspiration, reflux
ACT/BE contraindications
Unstable head/neck injury
