The overall rationale for pulmonary rehabilitation is to ________ some of these processes, which lead to decreased physical activity
control and perhaps reverse
what is the major goal of pulmo rehab
The major goal of pulmonary rehabilitation is to restore the patient to the highest possible functional capacity, given the patient’s degree of pulmonary impairment and overall life situation
What are the two principal objectives of pulmo rehab
To control and alleviate as much as possible the symptoms and pathophysiologic complications of respiratory impairment
To teach patients how to achieve optimal capability for carrying out their activities of daily living (ADLs)
What are the four pillars of pulmo rehab
Education, breathing techniques, physical reconditioning, strategies to conserve energy and pacing activities.
What are the basis for patients selection
- Abnormal pulmonary mechanics—namely, changes in compliance and airway resistance.
- Abnormal gas exchange resulting in hypoxemia and arterial desaturation.
- Impaired cardiac output.
- Sensation or perception of dyspnea.
Abnormal pulmonary mechanics often results in _______ for a set level of ventilation. This increase in the work of breathing may be due to ____________.
increased respiratory muscle work, increased airway resistance (Raw), to hyperinflation, or to decreases in lung or chest wall compliance
Gas exchange abnormalities are manifested in hypoxemia with ____________
arterial desaturation, reduced delivery of oxygen to the tissues, and lactic acidosis
Cardiac dysfunction frequently follows chronic lung disease as a result of the effects of hypoxemia on the cardiovascular system. COPD patients with normal cardiac function at rest may develop ______ and _________ during exercise.
pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale (elevated right atrial
pressures)
An elevated right atrial pressure can produce a drop in the gradient for ________ to the heart, which diminishes cardiac output
venous return
In addition, if right ventricular hypertrophy is present, __________ are evident, resulting in __________ and interference with cardiac output.
elevations in left ventricular filling pressure, pulmonary vascular congestion
Finally, in patients with increased airway resistance, decreased compliance, or hyperinflation, ________ can become more negative. This more negative pleural pressure, in turn, increases
the pressure gradient against which the heart must pump, limiting the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle. ___________ follow, resulting in dyspnea and tightness in the chest.
pleural pressure, Pulmonary vascular congestion, and trans-vascular fluid filtration
What are the different testing regimens?
Chest X-ray, ABG analysis, Pulmonary Function Test, CPX Test
Before any testing is performed, a _________ should be completed. This includes:
complete patient workup
A complete patient history consisting of medical/surgical, occupational, family, and social (outside activities plus any smoking and alcohol consumption) components.
• Physical examination.
• Laboratory testing (complete blood count, blood chemistry, theophylline level, and alpha-1 antitrypsin titer).
• Electrocardiogram and chest X-ray.
Pulmonary Function Test. The standard pulmonary function test (PFT) consists of:
- Pre- and postbronchodilator spirometry with a timed forced vital capacity (FVC) and flow-volume loop.
- Maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) maneuver.
- Lung volume and capacity determination using a helium equilibration or nitrogen washout technique.
- Diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO) using the single-breath method.
PFTs:
• Allow for the differentiation between __________
• Establish a _____ for the patient.
• Determine the extent of _______ present.
• Identify the degree of reversal _________
obstructive and restrictive disease, baseline, pulmonary impairment, produced by bronchodilator therapy
Arterial Blood Gas Analysis. Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, commonly performed during the PFT, identifies any __________
hypoxemia, carbon dioxide retention, and acid-base imbalance
________ is also used to determine a patient’s level of oxygenation. However, this technique is more useful in serial determinations to determine the degree of arterial desaturation with physical activities, such as walking or stair climbing.
Pulse oximetry (SpO2)
The most important aspect of patient evaluation and testing before any pulmonary rehabilitation effort is the cardiopulmonary exercise (stress, or CPX) test. This is the most complex test but the most important in terms of the patient data and information it provides.
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
