Pulm Interventions

Question 1

Autogenic drainage

Answer 1

Controlled breathing to mobilize secretions by varied airflow

On sticking phase, collecting phase, evacuating phase

Question 2

Directed cough and huffing

Answer 2

Forced expiratory maneuver with glottis open, compensates for a limited ability

Question 3

High-frequency airway oscillation

Answer 3

Devices vibrate and mobilize secretions

Question 4

Diaphragmatic breathing

Answer 4

Using diaphragm to minimize accessory muscles

For: postop with pain, restricted chest range of motion, dyspnea at rest

Semi Fowler’s position: 30–45°,sniff to facilitate diaphragm

Question 5

Inspiratory muscle training

Answer 5

Device strengthens diaphragm and intercostals

Question 6

Paced breathing and exhale with effort

Answer 6

Strategy to prevent Valsalva during activity

Question 7

Pursed lip breathing

Answer 7

Maintains small positive pressure airway to prevent collapse

Emphysema

Reduces respiratory rate and dyspnea

Question 8

Segmental breathing

Answer 8

To increase chest wall mobility and assist secretion removal

Firm pressure at end of exhalation in desired area

Question 9

Incentive Spirometer

Answer 9

Sustained maximal inspiration, promote air passage through mucus

Improves atelectasis, PaCO2

Question 10

Sustained maximal inspiration

Answer 10

Prevent atelectasis post surgery

Question 11

Active cycle breathing

Answer 11

To assist with airway clearance in patients with asthma

Breathing control, deep breathing, huffing, repeat
