Q

Cardiac rehab: Phase 1 GOALS

A

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)

Q

Cardiac rehab: Phase 1 FITT

A

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
