Pulmonary meds and supplemental O2 Flashcards

The learner will recall common side effects of bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and oxygen  The learner will relate common pulmonary medications to pulmonary pathologies  The learner will relate common pulmonary medications to pulmonary surgeries and use of the ventilator The learner will apply pulmonary exercise physiology to exercise prescription

1
Q

What is important for pulmonary response to exercise?

A

Intensity of exercise over the mode of exercise
Dyspnea and RPE are good predictors for exerise prescription and monitoring alongside vital signs

Q

(There are four)

Function of pulmonary meds

A
  1. Bronchodilation and/or limiting bronchoconstriction
  2. Facilitation of mucocilliary function (therefore secretion clearance)
  3. Increased alveolar ventilation and/or improved oxygenation
  4. Improved control of breathing pattern

Q

Purpose of bronchodilators- adrenergic agonists

A
  • Increase sympathetic stimulation and create bronchodilation
  • Action: works on secondary NT messengers
