Q

OMT pre-op to reduce SD’s in which region has shown to significanty decrease post-op pulmonary complications; via what type of reflex?

A
  • Mid-cervical (C3-5)
  • Somatosomatic reflex: Cervical SD –> thoracoabomibal diaphragm - phrenic n.

Q

What does it mean to increase the number of treatments acutely in a post-OP patient?

A
  • ↑ the treatment frequency with shorter duration = may be better tolerated
  • i.e., instead of a 6 minute session, do 3 sessions of 2 minutes each

20
Q

Post-orthopedic surgery how should treating a SD be approached?

21
Q

A fever is defined as how many degree farenheit and celsius?

A

>100.4 °F (38°C)

22
Q

What are the 5 “rule of W’s” for post-op fever; how many days post-op (POD) is each associated with?

A
  • Wind (atelectasis/pneumonia) –> 1-2 days POD
  • Water (UTI-cystitis) –> 3 days POD
  • Walking (DVT/PE) –> 5-7 days POD
  • Wound (infection) –> 7-10 days POD
  • Wonder drugs (drug rxn = rash; bradycardi) –> 7+ days POD
23
Q

Shallow breaths without maximal inhalation may lead to what post-op complication?

A

Atelectasis

24
Q

What are 3 contributing factors to pre-tibial edema?

A
  • Immobility due to bedrest
  • Systemic inflammation secondary to surgery
  • Insufficient circulation and lymph drainage
25
Q

What are the 2 viscerosomatic levels that should be target for pre-tibial edema?

A
  • T10-L2
  • S2-S4
26
Q

Rib raising for which viscerosomatic levels has been shown to decrease incidence of post-op ileus?

A

T5-L2

27
Q

Why is respiratory depression when using opioids a rare AE in the post-op setting?

A

Pain = powrerful respiratory stimulant

28
Q

What are the 3 ways/techniques that you can use OMT for pain management in the post-op patient; which viscerosomatics?

A
  • Rib raising w/ paraspinal inhibition to normalize hyperactive SNS
  • ST and MFR
  • Viscerosomatic = T1-L2 and CN X/S2-4
29
Q

What are 2 OMT techniques that can be used for calming in a post-OP patient for anxiety/delirium?

A

Suboccipital inhibition and CV4
