Pulmonary Eval Flashcards
Normal FEV1/ FVC ratio
0.75 to 0.8
FEV1/ FVC value for RLD
more than >0.8
FEV1/ FVC value for obstructive lung disease
< 0.7
Forced midexpiratory flow value range
25 to 75
is the volume of air exhaled in middle 1/2 of FVC
clubbed fingers are the enlargement of —– ——. The body doesn’t get enough O2 and compensates with swelling
capillary beds
This postural impairment makes it difficult for the lungs to expand
kyphosis
Facial signs of pulmonary distress are nasal flaring, sweating, —– ( skin), enlarged —–
paleness
focused or enlarged pupils
JVD is associated with ——-
Cor pulmonale
hyperinflated chest ratio
AP diameter ( xiphoid process to vertebrae) to transverse diameter
1:1
barrel chest
rib angles should measure at —– *
rib angles attach to vertebrae at about —-
90 * rib angle
45* degree vertebrae attachment
larger rib and vertebral angles leads to ——-
**air trapping **
this stretches diaphragm causing it to be flatter and less efficient
—- SCM and/or adaptive —- of the SCM muscles may indicate a —- pulmonary condition
hypertrophy
shortening
chronic

results in decreased ——
fast rate
increased depth

This is when speech is interrupted for a breath. It identifies how many words can be said before next breath
dyspnea of phonation
