Respiration Lab Flashcards
When the descent of the diaphragm is relied on to increase the capacity of inspiration.
Abdominal respiration
Movement of the ribs is mainly used to increase the capacity of inspiration.
Thoracic respiration
Sequence of normal breath
Abs>Ribs>chest
Planes of MVt in breathing
3!
Vertical, AP, Transverse
Muscles of Quiet Inspiration
Diaphragm
External Intercostals
Parasternal part of intercostal
Scalenes
Forced inspiration muscles
Erector spinae Traps and rhomboids to stabalize SCM Scalenes Pec major/minor/SA
largely passive due to relaxation of inspiratory muscles, elastic recoil of the lung tissue, and an increase in the tone of the anterior abdominal wall (forcing the relaxing diaphragm upwards).
Quiet expiration
active process brought about by contraction of the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominus, external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominus) and assistance from the internal intercostal muscles to release air
Forced Expiration
Simple technique used to control shortness of breath (dyspnea), work of breathing, and reduce the rate of breathing
Pursed Lip breathing (PLB)
PLB only works with
COPD
Not restrictive
Benefits of PLB
-relieve dyspnea
-Increased activity tolerance
-Increased alveolar ventilation and oxygenation
-Reduce work of breathing and RR
-Decrease CO2 tension
Decrease anxiety
dyspnea will worsen in those with severe COPD during
Diaphragmatic breathing
benefits of DB
Aleviate dyspnea Reduce postop complications Improve ventilation Oxygenation Decrease use of accessory muscles Increase TV
Benefits of Lateral Costal Breathing
Improve chest expansion
Increase ventilation
Reduce work
