Osteopathic- Pulmonary System Flashcards
Sympathetic Autonomic Supply to Pulmonary System?
T1-T6
Parasympathetic Autonomic Supply to Pulmonary?
Vagus
What is the primary lymphatic drainage of the lungs?
Right Lymphatic Duct
What happens when you increase sympathetic tone?
Bronchodilation, Vasoconstriction, Epithelial hyperplasia
What happens when parasympathetic tone increases?
RELATIVE Bronchoconstriction, Profuse Secretions, Thinning of Secretions
What are the anterior chapman’s points?
3rd and 4th intercostal spaces @ sternal border bilaterally. TQ
Prolonged sympathetic stimulation results in…..
Vasoconstriction and local hypoperfusion (Not Good)
What reflex prevents overinflation and cannot distinguish between air and fluid in the lungs?
Hering-Breuer Reflex (TQ!)
When the carotid body senses more 02 is needed it…..
Signals the respiratory center to increase respiratory rate, results in RAPID, SHALLOW, BREATHING.
A flattened diaphragm does what to lymphatics?
Decreased fluid movement, less lymphatic flow–> Tissue congestion
Goals of OMT treatment in pneumonia?
Decrease congestion and decrease sympathetic hyperactivity (T1-6 Rib Raise, Chapman’s points, Paraspinal inhibition).
Fever over 102.5? Lymphatics are…..
Contraindicated
Stage I Pneumonia treatment?
Bilateral Rib Raising, Bilateral indirect myofascial release of thoracic inlet, Bilateral inhibition of paravertebral muscles C1-C5
Stage II Pneumonia Treatment?
Steps 1,2,3 from stage 1.
Treat any somatic dysfunction C7-T6
Stage III Pneumonia Treatment?
Bilateral Rib Raise, Lymphatic Pump, Specific treatment of any vertebral somatic dysfunction
