PR3 Flashcards
Most common disease referred to PR
COPD
PR still offers benefits for
Non COPD diseases and poses challenges for PR therapist
PR therapist need knowledge of
Knowledge of physiology
Modification of exercise & education
Asthma management
Goal: preserve lung function
Well controlled asthma = May, normal response to exercise
Evaluate for exercise induced bronchospasm
Warmup & cool down
Medication pre-exercise
Upper & lower extremity strength & endurance exercise
?Appropriate education topics for pt. & family??
Cystic Fibrosis (see what??)
Nutrition depletion
Obstructive lung dz characteristics
Exercise tolerance
Impaired quality of life
CF Education
-Pacing & energy conservation
-Pursed lip breathing
-Strategies, active- work, school, etc.
-Medication: and, steroids, bronchodilators, a/w clearance devices
- Maintenance, adequate nutrition
ILD is and what diseases?
-Group of disorders
-Characterized by: degree of inflammation, fibrosis or both in the interstitial or alveoli
-IPF
-Sarcoidosis
-Occupational dz
-Hypersensitivity pneumonitis; NSIP
-ARDS
-BOOP
-Drug induced lung dz
ILD, hallmark feature of dz
Exercise induced O2 desaturation
ILD, hypoxemia leads
-Increased PVR
-Increased work of heart
-Decreased O2 delivery to tissues
=Further impairs cardiac function &
& can lead to exertional dizziness
or syncope
=Pt. both circulatory & ventilatory
limitations to exercise
ILD & PR (3 area focus)
-EXERCISE: Upper & lower strength & endurance training
- Strong emphasis on pacing & energy conservation
= High FiO2 may be needed
- NUTRITION: counseling prevent muscle & wt loss
-EDUCATION:
ILD & PR (3 area focus) expanded
-EXERCISE: Upper & lower strength & endurance training
- Strong emphasis on pacing & energy conservation
= High FiO2 may be needed
- NUTRITION: counseling prevent muscle & wt loss
-EDUCATION:
=Course if dz
=Supplemental O2

=Prevention strategies
=Coping mechanisms
Pulmonary Hypertension is
- Mean PAP > 25 torr @ rest or
- > 30 torr during exertion
Pulmonary HTN may occur due to:
- Process affecting commentary
vascular bed - In conjunction of several respiratory
system of diseases - Idiopathic: absence of identifiable
cause or coexisting of disease
Pulmonary HTN characteristics symptoms include:
- Exertional dyspnea
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Palpitation
- Dizziness
- Hemoptysis
- Severe - Lead to exercise induced
syncope or sudden death.
Pulmonary HTN
Cardiocirculatory and gas exchange impairments cause
- Decrease exercise capacity
- Early onset lactic acidosis
- Increase oxygen cost to work
- Exercise induced dizziness or presyncope indicate severe disease
