Q

describe emphysema

A
  • alveoli in the lungs are damaged
    • inner walls of the alveolar become weak and rupture = large air spaces created instead of multiple small ones
  • primary cause = smoking
  • no cure/progressive
17
Q

describe pulmonary fibrosis

A
  • a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred
  • thick stiff tissue within the lungs makes it challenging for the lungs to work properly
18
Q

what are the causes of pulmonary fibrosis?

A
  • environmental pollutants
  • connective tissue disease
  • interstitial lung disease
19
Q

describe cystic fibrosis

A
  • an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs
  • primarily affects cells that produce mucous, sweat, and digestive juices
  • life expectancy = approx. 44 years
20
Q

describe muscular dystrophy

A
  • a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass
  • abnormal genes interfere with production of proteins required for healthy muscle formation
  • common feature is respiratory failure
21
Q

what do you start off with when creating a pulmonary rehab plan?

A
  • learn more about the patient’s health
    • lung function
    • exercise
    • blood tests
    • medical history
    • current treatments
  • most common symptom = dyspnea
22
Q

what is the purpose of inpatient programs?

A

provides specialized care for hospitalized patients

23
Q

when are patients referred to outpatient programs?

A

during hospitalization

24
Q

what are the benefits of pulmonary rehab?

A
  • minimize symptoms
  • decrease disability
  • increase PA
  • improve quality of life
  • improve activity of daily living (ADL)
25
Q

describe a physiotherapist

A
  • teach patients the proper and safe way to move and assist in regaining mobility
  • will assist with regaining the ability to walk, get out/into bed and chairs, climbs stairs, etc.
  • will also assist with teaching techniques to improve breathing
26
Q

explain pursed-lip breathing

A
  • helps control SOB and slows breathing
  • effective breathing by getting more o2 into the lungs
  • steps:
    • sit in a chair and relax your neck and shoulder muscles
    • breath in through the nose, close mouth
    • inhale 2 seconds
    • purse lips and blow out all of air through mouth slowly (longer than inhale)
27
Q

explain occupational therapists

A
  • evaluate a patient’s physical and mental abilities
  • assists with regaining ability for ADLs
  • will also screen for cognitive function
28
Q

describe the role of social work

  • improving assertive communication
  • mindfulness and technostress
  • uncovering negative automatic thoughts
  • changing negative automatic thoughts/thinking errors
  • managing sleep
31
Q

what are some ways to monitor exercise and pulmonary disease?

A
  • HR
  • RPE
  • RPD- ratings of perceived dyspnea (0-10)
  • SPO2
    • approx. ½ of patients with COPD will desaturate <90% during exercise
32
Q

why does lung function drop less with HIIT?

A

intervals allow for lung recovery, whereas continuous exercise you are exerting energy the whole time

33
Q

how does the mood change during HIIT in comparison to continuous exercise?

A
  • mood goes up in recovery intervals for HIIT
  • mood with moderate-intensity exercise continuously went down as exercise persisted
