Individualized treatment in pulmonary rehab is designed to
- reduce ____
- Optimize ____
- Increase participation in _____
- Reduce _____
reduce symptoms,

**INDIVIDUALIZED
Comprehensive pulmonary rehab programs include (4)
patient assessment
exercise training
education
psychosocial support
Successful pulmonary rehab programs are ____ and ____ and includes both ____ and ____ function.
Multidisciplinary: Programs utilize expertise from various disciplines (PT, OT, RT, psychology, dietary)
integrated into a cohesive, comprehensive program.
Individualized:
Individual assessment of needs
individual attention, with realistic individual goals.
Include both physical and social function:
Pay attention to psychological, emotional, and social problems
Optimize medical therapy to improve lung function and exercise tolerance
What are the two ways that pulm rehab helps with 1A evidence?
improves symptoms of dyspnea
improves health related quality of life
pulm rehab reduces # of hospital days and other measures of healthcare utilization
what level of evidence?
2B
Pulm rehab is cost effective
what level of evidence?
2C
Pulm rehab shows psychosocial benefits
what level of evidence?
2B
What are the two general types of breathing problems in pulm disease?
restrictive or obstructive
difficulty getting all the air in (restrictive)
Difficulty getting all the air out (obstructive)
These terms refer only to how a respiratory problem affects a patient’s breathing pattern;
they say nothing about cause, treatment, Xray appearance, or prognosis
Obstructive and restrictive problems are frequently seen together in one disease
Definition FVC
The summation of Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), Tidal volume (TV), and Expiratory reserve volume (RV)
What are the three most important measures on the PFT
FVC
FEV1
FEV1/FVC ratio
FEV1 definition
Forced expiratory volume in 1 second. FEV1
What will the FEV be compared to FVC
Obstructive:
Restrictive:
Obstructive: small FEV compared to FVC
Restrictive: Both small but comparable to one another
Obstructive pattern: FVC: FEV1: FEV1/FVC Total lung capacity:
decreased or normal
decreased
decreased
normal or increased
Restrictive pattern FVC: FEV1: FEV1/FVC Total lung capacity:
decreased
decreased or normal
normal
decreased
Pathology?
Patient is unable to take a full deep breath and fully expand the lungs
restrictive lung disease
Restrictive lung disease:
Pathology lies in: (3)
Once air is inhaled, patients with restrictive disease can _____ without any trouble.
lung, chest wall, neuromuscular system
exhale without any impediment
Name 4 common causes for restrictive lung disease in the rehab world
pulm fibrosis
scoliosis
kyphosis
neuromuscular disease
What are 6 common intrinsic causes of restrictive lung disease?
3 extrinsic?
Intrinsic Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia Sarcoidosis Asbestosis ARDS - Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome Drug toxicity: Amiodarone, Methotrexate
Extrinsic
Neuromuscular diseases: Myasthenia gravis, GBS
Kyphosis
Obesity
Pathology?
Patient may be unable to take in a full, deep breath and fully expand the lungs – usually due to air “trapped” in the lungs at end inspiration (elevated FRC –functional residual capacity)
obstructive lung disease
Obstructive lung disease is due to ______
lung parenchymal disease (loss of elastic recoil)
In obstructive lung disease, once air is inhaled, patients can _____
CANNOT exhale completely due to airway collapse and trapping of air.
What are three causes of COPD
1 emphysema
- chronic bronchitis
- alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
______ is a dilatation of airway due to inflammation and destruction of the bronchi.
what type of lung disease?
bronchiectasis
obstructive
______ Autosomal recessive disease characterized by abnormal chloride/sodium transport – characterized by thick viscous secretions
what type of lung disease?
Cystic fibrosis
commonly obstructive and restrictive
_____ is a inherited protein that is made by the _____ and is a “lung protector”
alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT)
liver
alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) is responsible for ______ % of emphysema in the US
2-3%
alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) emphysema
of americans:
____ descent
______ americans carry a single deficient gene
_______ carriers
100,000 Americans - northern European descent
20 million Americans carry a single deficient gene
may pass the gene onto their children
116 million carriers among all racial groups
two main symptoms of alpha 1 antitrypsin emphysema:
Rarely appear before ____
In smokers, symptoms occur between ______ and ____ years
______ significantly increases the severity
Symptoms - shortness of breath and decreased exercise capacity
rarely appear before 25 years of age in nonsmokers
In smokers, symptoms occur between 32 and 41 years
Smoking significantly increases the severity
COPD is a disease state characterized by ______
Usually _______
Usually associated with an abnormal ______ response of the lungs
______ with bronchodilator meds
Commonly associated with ______
Usually seen in _____ life
COPD - a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is:
Usually progressive
Usually associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs
(infection or noxious particles or gases)
Not fully reversible with bronchodilator meds
Commonly associated w/ long smoking history
Usually seen in mid-life
Assoc. with emphysema and chronic bronchitis
Name the four common changes in lung parenchyma in COPD
- destruction of pulm capillary bed
- alveolar wall destruction
3 loss of elasticity
4 increased inflammatory cells: macrophages, CD8 lymphocytes
Four most common symptoms of COPD
Chronic cough
Sputum production
Dyspnea on exertion (DOE)
Decreased O2 via pulse oximetry with exertion
(this may not routinely be measured by individuals
at home)
NOTE: Not all people with cough and sputum production go on to develop airflow limitation and therefore COPD
