20
Q

In renal failure may see:

A
  • Diaphragmatic weakness
  • Restrictive lung dysfunction
  • PH disturbances
21
Q

Renal failure

A

Fluid overload: Pulmonary edema, HTN, ascites (fluid in abdomen)

22
Q

ascites

A

the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, causing abdominal swelling.

23
Q

Side effects of DIALYSIS can include:

A
  • Anemia
  • Pericarditis
  • Ascites
24
Q

in CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE (CRF) can see decreased …..

A
  • exercise/functional capacity
  • May be as low as 50% of healthy age/sex matched controls
25
Q

Chest PT (breathing exercises/PD) performed at Brompton Hospital in ______ in 1934

A

England

26
Q

“Pulmonary rehabilitation is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive intervention for patients with chronic respiratory diseases who are symptomatic and often have decreased dailyactivities. Integrated into the individual treatment of the patient, pulmonary rehabilitation is designed to reduce symptoms, optimize functional status, increase participation, and reduce health care costs through stabilizing or reversing systemic manifestations of the disease”.

A

American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation

27
Q

Primary Goal of Pulmonary Rehab:

A
  • Rehab: Restore patient to highest possible level of independent function
  • Do this by heling patient become more physically active, learn more about their disease, treatment options, and how to cope
28
Q

Primary goal of pulmonary in-patient (acute care):

A
  • Goals are to improve ventilation and gas exchange, secretion clearance and maintenance of functional capacity
  • Not geared toward increasing exercise capacity due to limited length of stay in acute care setting → home program
29
Q

True or false: in acute care setting, the goal for the pulmonary patient is toward increasing exercise capacity

A

FALSE

Goals are to improve ventilation and gas exchange, secretion clearance and maintenance of functional capacity

30
Q

results from decreased length of stay at the hospital

A
  • Decreased length of stay (decreased cost)
  • Reduction in post-surgical complications (ex. pna)
  • Quicker return to activity and work
31
Q

In out-patient pulmonary rehab, use__________ as a means of evaluating efficacy in lieu of physiologic parameters

A

functional outcomes

32
Q

Out-patient pulmonary rehab pragrams include

A

exercise, education and counseling

33
Q

Most pts in pulm rehab have _______, but other diagnoses can benefit too

A

COPD

34
Q

Four Domains of Outcomes Assessment (AACVPR)

A
  1. Health outcomes
  2. Clinical outcomes (dyspnea, exertional, depression, anxiety)
  3. Behavioral outcomes (smoking cessation)
  4. Service outcomes
35
Q

Health outcomes has 4 aspects:

A
  1. Physical functioning
  2. Psychological functioning
