Q

Explain the mechanics of the diaphragm- in which direction does it move, what impairs its function?

A

As we take a breath in, the diaphragm contract and moves in a descending position. It shortens or until stopped by abdominal contents.

Then we relaxdiaphragm and it moves basck up to resting position and passively moves air out causing passive expiration

Q

Quadriplegic or rib fx breathing pattern

A

Quadriplegic patient with paralysis of inner costals.

Diaphragm contracts, pulls down and a (-) interthoracis pressure is created this time b/c of the lack of stability of the ant rib cage, those ribs are pulled in. Inefficient breathing pattern.

Q

Breathing with a flail chest

A

We have a section of ribs that have bee fractured & separated from the rest of the rib cage. The diaphragm contracts pulls air in & also b/c of the (-) inter-thoracic pressure the flail section of ribs is also pulled in. Inefficient breathing pattern

Q

What are the accessory muscle and how do they work?

A

Overall they help assist the diaphragm and intercostals

  • SCM: helps anterior chest expansion
  • Pec Major and minor: lift ant chest, substitute for intercostals
  • serratus anterior: post expansion of rib cage
  • scalenes: and and sup expansion Ribs 1,2
  • erector spinae: post stabilization, extension
  • trapezius: with fixed head it lifts clavicles. Stabilizes scapula for serratus ant and pect minor

Q

What do cilia do— what are things that slow their function?

A

Until terminal bronchioles

  • Goblet, serous cells cells secret mucous
  • bottom layer- sol 90% water
  • top layer- gel traps foreign objects.

The cilia move the secretions until they are coughed out.

Paralyzed by cigarette smoke, alcohol, anethesia up to 20 mins.

Q

Inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume and residual volume

A

Inspiratory- on top of the normal inspiration if we breathe in as much as we can 2-3 L.

Expiratory- if we breathe out more at the end of norma tiddal volume ~1L. Beyond that is what we call teh Residual volume ~1L. Air that we cannot mobilize.

Q

Respiratory cycle of dead space

A

Dead space= 150 mL

When we take in a breath of air, we take the air from that conducting zone which we call teh dead space area. Even though we say the normal tidal volume is 5L of air not all of that participates in air exchange some of it just sits in dead space area

Q

Ventilation vs perfusion?

A
Ventilation = air exchange
Perfusion = blood flow
  • Neither are consistent throughout the lungs. In upright poture, ventilation is greater in the apices, perfusion greater in bases. V/Q ratio = 0.8

Q

CLosed alveoli affect on ventilation

A

Decreased ventilation from closed alveoli

  • plugged w/ mucous so no oxygen can come down

Creates a Right to left shunt: normally blood is sent from the right side of the heart to the lungs. If blood goes to alveoli and there is no “O” to pick up, no air exchange takes place. It is as though blood is shunted from right side to left w/o “o”

Q

Elastance vs Compliance

A

Compliance- how easy it is for lungs to expand

Elastance- how easily lungs return to normal shape

Small resting lung volumes- high compliance: quite easy to expans - room to grow

Large resting lung volumes- low compliance: already full or air - not easy to expans more Ex: COPD

Q

What is teh significance of surfactant?

A

In the lung we have large alveoli and small ones. Normally if a large alveoli were to expand during inspiration, it would suck all the air out of smaller alveolus. The smaller alveolus would collapse. This does not happen due to production of suurfactant. Surfactant is a mixture of lipoproteins that line themselves up and inc density.

Q

Resistance to air flow and critical closing pressure

A

Low flow is laminar
High flow is turbulent

As lung volume increases air resistance drops off.
- when the volumes are really low i.e. patient is not taking deep breaths we reach a point called the critical closing pressure where the resistance to flow is do great that the airways collapse.

98
Q

Stop exercise if you see thse vital signs…

A

Maladaptive BP or HR: failure to rise with excessive fall

Post MI, cardiac surgery: HR should not increase >20-30bpm above resting

EKG changes- ischemia, dysrythmias

O2 saturation drops >3-5%

  • BP systolic drop >20 mmHG
  • BP diastolic drop >10mmHG
99
Q

Phase II exercise Prescription

A

Modality: Rhythmic, large muscle group aactivities- cycling, walking

Goal: accumulate 30-45 minutes/ session
—start: use short bouts 3-10min intervals

100
Q

Resistance training for home or Phase II center-based exercise

A

Must be 5 weeks post MI with 3 weeks of rehab program participation.

Must be 8 weeks post CABG with 3 weeks of rehab participation

8-10 exercises, major muscle groups

  • 2-3x/wk
  • proper breathing no valsalva

Start low weight and incr when able to do 155 reps easily

101
Q

Medications that wil decrease cardiac workload

A
  • decrease preload- diuretics
  • decrease afterload: calcium channel blocckers, ACE inhibitors

-reduce excessive sympathetic stimulation (decr HR and contactility ) Beta blockers

102
Q

Cardiac Medication to increase contractility , CO

A

-glycosides

103
Q

How do diuretics decrease preload?

A

First lline of treatment
-increase renal secretion of water and sodium

-decr fluid volume in vascular system which decreases BP-HTN and reduces preload

104
Q

Potassium sparing vs depleting

A

Potassium depleting- encourage to eat banana
-thiazides eg Diuril, loop diuretics Lasix

Potassium sparing

Watch for side effects of weakness and fatigue, PVCs from electrolyte imbalance, orthostatic hypotension

105
Q

ACE inhibitors

A
  • Prinvil
  • inhibits conversion of angiotension I to angiotensin II

-decrease vasoconstriction decrease afterload- used for HTN, heart failure, post-MI

Angiotensin II leads to incr Na+ and H2O retenstion hich leads to more blood volume and incr BP
—blocking this process = decr vasocronstriction and decr BP

106
Q

ACE inhibitors side effects

A

Persistent dry couch
GI discomfort, chest pain- minimal

Dizziness, lighheadeness- expecially with exercise. Or hot weather

107
Q

Positive ionotropes

A

Increase contractility

-glycoside- Digoxin,digitalis, Slows HR, increase electrical delay at AV node (treat Afib), toxicity common

Sympathomimetics- epinephrine- emergency situation- side effect is tachycardia

108
Q

What are 2 types of vasodilators>

A

Calcium channel blockers

Nitrates

109
Q

Calcium channel blockers

A

-block calcium entry into smooth muscle cells, prevent contraction

Vasodilation-mostly on arterial side leads to Decreased BP

Drug of choice for variant (prinzmetal) angina

110
Q

Common side effect of calcium channel blockers

A

Orthostatic hypotension,dizziness,headache
-ankle/peripheral edema

GI upset

Tahcycardia

111
Q

Nitrates

A

Act on arteriole & venous side of sysstem

Act on smooth muscle to inhibit contrcation

-Decreased peripheral resistance, decr afterload (arteriodilator) decr preload (venodilator)

Nitroglycerin
- side effects headache,hypotension dizziness, tachycardia

112
Q

Beta 1 stimulation

A

Stimulation causes increased force of contraction and HR

113
Q

Beta 2 stimulation

A

Stimulation causes skeletal an dsmooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation of vessels in heart and skeletal muscle, nronchodilation

114
Q

Alpha 1 and 2 stimulation

A

Causes vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction

115
Q

Betaa blockers

A
Decrease HR
Decrease contractility
Decrease CO
Decrease BP
====Decreased work of heart
116
Q

How do we treat HTN? With medication

A
  • decrease preload and afterload- diuretics, ACE inhibitirs , CA channel blockes
  • inhibit vasoconstriction : alpha 1 blocker
117
Q

How do we treat CAD, myocardial ischemia with medication?

A
  • decrease myocardial demand- Bblockers, CA channel blocker, nitrates
  • increase myocardial O2 supply- Ca channel blocker, blood thinners
  • lipid management
