Q

What are 7 trigger results in release of inflammatory mediators?

A
  1. Alveolar oedema, resulting from endothelial injury and microvascular permeability
  2. Leakage of protein into alveoli
  3. Proliferation of alveolar epithelial type 2 cells
  4. Increased fibroblast activity

Q

What are 5 implications for PT treatment of ARDS?

A
  1. Disconnecting patient from Ventilation may reduce FRC, cause Atelectrauma
  2. MHI may cause volutrauma, barotrauma, atelectrauma
  3. However, need to prevent secretion retention
    • Consider positioning, percussion, vibration, closed suction
  4. Extrapulmonary causes may be more amenable to MHI than intrapulmonary causes
  5. In long term cases lung becomes fibrotic. May be able to use MHI but be careful of large pressures (? use pressure manometer)

Q

What are 6 characteristics of prone positioning in ICU?

A
  1. Recruitment of dorsal lung
  2. Increased homogenous distribution of ventilation and perfusion
  3. V/Q improves
  4. Improvement in compliance on returning to supine
  5. Improvement in oxygenation maintained when returning to supine.
  6. CT changes evident - reinflation of dorsal areas

Q
A
  1. SIRS – Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
    1. Response to release of Endotoxins
    2. Eg Burns, Trauma, Post transplant, head injury
  2. NB Initiating insult may be infective or non-infective
    1. Abnormal values for just sitting/without doing anything
  3. HR ≥ 90 beats/min can be 140-160beats/min
  4. To ≥ 39o or ≤ 36o
  5. Respirations ≥20/min
  6. WBC count ≥12,000/mm3 or ≤4,000/mm3 or >10% immature neutrophils

Swabbed to see if they have infection

Implications for PT

  • Often still haemodynamically stable – able to exercise, tilt table, Rx respiratory system

Q

What are 5 management of sepsis?

A
  1. Treat infection aggressively ie source control NB If respiratory Rx source
    1. Can be respiratory, joint, small cut
    2. Get infected tissue out (wash out –> might not even close wound –> next day –> wash out again)
  2. Management of respiratory failure, renal failure
  3. Early antibiotics
    1. If you suspect they have sepsis, give general antibiotics (without antibiotics –> increased risk of mortality)
  4. Often cardiovascular failure
  5. Requires
    1. Aggressive volume resuscitation + vasopressors
    2. Haemodynamic monitoring
17
Q
A
  1. Early
    1. ↑ Cardiac output (CO) and ↓ Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
    2. Vasodilatation
  2. Increasing inotropes/vasopressors
  3. Positive pressure (MHI, VHI) dangerous
  4. Look at all values - SVR, CO, PAOP
  5. Normal CO and ↑ SVR – safer

NB Can still do positioning, percussion, vibration if unstable ie source control

18
Q

What is the prognosis of sepsis?

A
19
Q

What are 2 types of acute head injury?

A
  1. Primary Brain Damage
    1. Diffuse brain injury, diffuse axonal injury
    2. Mass lesion
      1. Subdural /extradural haematoma

    2. Ischaemia
    3. Airway, Arterial blood gases
    4. Iatrogenic
20
Q

What are 2 types of primary brain damage as acute head injury?

A
  1. Diffuse brain injury, diffuse axonal injury
  2. Mass lesion
    1. Subdural /extradural haematoma
      • Bleeding –> clot –> presses on brain (better prognosis than diffused brain injury)
    2. Intracerebral haemorrhage

What happens at the scene

21
Q

  1. Cerebral oedema
  2. Ischaemia
  3. Airway, Arterial blood gases
  4. Iatrogenic

23
Q

What are 4 characteristics of cerebral perfusion pressure?

A
  1. Clinical evaluation of level of tissue oxygenation in neurosurgical patients
  2. CPP = MAP - ICP
  3. Usually kept at > 70mmHg (inotropes eg Noradrenaline)
  4. If CPP < 40mmHg, tissue perfusion fails
24
Q

What is teh effect of arterial blood gases on CBF?

A
25
Q

A
26
Q

What is pupil size and reactivity?

A
27
Q

What is the modified glasgow coma scale?

A
28
Q

What are the 5 common technique of intracranial pressure monitoring?

A
29
Q

What are 5 implications for PT in head injury?

A
  1. Intubated, ventilated, sedated, paralysed to rest brain and ensure optimal ABG’s
  2. Assess chest vs head ie CXR, CT scan
  3. Keep Rx short, frequently if necessary
    • Pressure will not go up if this is followed (rather than 1 long/extended Rx
  4. Keep SAP, MAP stable
  5. Keep head in midline, 30o head up
    • If not, might lock the jugular –> increase volume –> increase pressure
  6. EtCO2 constant

What is the effect of physiotherapy ICU?

A
31
Q

What is the overview of the mechanism and consequences of the metabolic response to critical illness?

A
32
Q

A
  1. Weakness following stay in ICU
  2. MRC scale < 48/60
  3. Often lower limbs> upper limbs

  6. Also delays ventilator weaning – weak diaphragm
  7. Increases ICU and hospital stay
  8. No specific Rx - rehabilitation
33
Q
A
34
Q

What is the medical research council (MRC) score?

A
35
