Q

Aims of Treatment

A
  • Sputum retention
  • Reduced lung volume (asceticism / collapse)
  • Increased work of breathing (WOB)
  • Pain
  • Fatigue
  • Reduced exercise tolerance

Can lead to hypoxia (deficiency in oxygen reaching the tissues)and respiratory failure

Q

too much 02- absorbsion atelectasis

A

when absorption of oxygen from alveoli exceeds replenishment of alveolar gas, so that the alveoli are no longer held open by a cushion of inert Nitrogen. “nitrogen wash out”

Q

too much 02- increased co2

A
  • Normally, rising CO2 levels drives respiration, however those patients with chronically raised CO2 have lost their sensitivity to it so rely on hypoxic drive

A
  • Direct delivery of medication to the lungs - run at flow of 6-8l (oxygen) or air if don’t require high oxygen
  • 0.9% or 7% - hypertonic (care needed though, not all patients require)

  • Saline 0.9% or 7% - hypertonic (care needed though)
23
Q

Bronchodilators (nebulisers)

A

can reduce bronchoconstriction to aid air flow

24
Q

nebulisers other medication

A

To consider from DH
* Mucolytics, parkinsons meds*

Pain management
* Need extra, encourage to use e.g. PCA*

Timing of these can be important
Think about treatment etc.

25
Q

postural drainage

7

A
  • Uses gravity to assist drainage of secretions
  • Area to be drained positioned highest
  • Most affected area drained first
  • Ideally 10 mins in each position (position for every lobe)
  • Max 3 positions per session
  • Think about patients ability to get into positions
  • Head down not used anymore (unsafe GERD / GORD / Injury or NGT)
26
Q

postural drainage precautions/ contrindications

8

A
  • Increased WOB (work of breathing)
  • Head and neck pathology/Raised ICP
  • Cardiovascular pathology
  • Abdominal pathology
  • Pregnancy
  • Obesity
  • Care with attachments
    Reflux GERD/GORD or nausea
27
Q

Positioning To Decrease WOB:

3

A
  • Stabilise shoulder girdle/optimise thoracic cage movement
  • Dome a flattened diaphragm
  • Decrease energy consumption
  1. relaxed standing
  2. forward lean standing
  3. relaxed sitting
  4. forward lean sitting
28
Q

Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT)

A

Has 3 stages repeated as a cycle:
1. Breathing control 20-30s
2. Thoracic expansion exercises (TEEs)
3. Forced expiratory technique (FET) or “huff”

  • It is a flexible approach and can be adapted to the patient.
  • Can be used by the patient without assistance.
29
Q

Breathing Control:

A
  • Tidal breathing
  • Encourage:
    ○ Relaxation of upper chest
    ○ Diaphragmatic breathing
  • Use of proprioceptive facilitation can be helpful.
    ○ Get hands on!
  • Continue until patient is ready to progress
30
Q

Diaphragmatic (tidal) breathing

A
  1. One hand on stomach and one hand on chest, breathe in through your nose.
  2. You’ll feel your stomach expand against your hand and your chest should barely move
  3. Breath out through your mouth and you’ll feel your stomach sink back down.

Can be used to help manage increased WOB

31
Q

Thoracic Expansion Exercises

6

A
  • Simply - deep breathing exercises (DBEs)
  • Encouraging lateral chest expansion
    ○ Hands on for proprioceptive feedback
  • Can add a 3’s hold and a ‘sniff’
  • Increases collateral ventilation
  • Monitor - patients can become lightheaded, 3-5 +/- breaths
32
Q

thoracic expansion - hold

A
  • Hold has been shown to decrease collapsed lung tissue and may be good for those with lung pathology as air will first fill in the unobstructed area and the hold may give time for ventilation of collateral pathways.
  • especially helpful for where reduced lung volume is reversible (eg. surgery)
33
Q

thoracic expansison mechanics

4

A
  • Air travels in direction of least resistance – like electricity
  • Air will go in to region of least resistance, incomplete equilibrium. Add a pause or insp hold, allows air to move into more regions and recreating equilibrium
  • Think of how you blow up a balloon.
  • Consequently this component is useful for increasing lung volume and also mobilising sputum
34
Q

Forced Expiratory Technique (FET)

8

A
  • Forcefully expelling air through an open throat and mouth
  • “fogging up a mirror”
  • Also known as a “huff”
  • Helps move sputum from small to larger airways
    ○ Medium and high volume
  • Don’t do too many – can cause bronchospasm
  • May initiate a cough
  • Can be challenging with surgical pain – + supported
35
Q

FET mechanics

A
  • Medium moves from more peripheral airways – normal breath in and long huff out
  • High moves from more central airways – deep breath, short sharp huff out
36
Q

FET physiology EPP

A
  • EPP – point at which pressure inside the airway is equal to the pressure outside (intrapleural pressure)
37
Q

FET location

A
  • Where in the airway this begins depends on where in the airway the pressure is equal to that outside the airway aka the ‘equal pressure point’ (EPP).
  • The EPP depends on the volume of inspired air.
  • Forces generated by this manoeuvre cause airway compression and collapse towards the mouth.
  • Less exhausting than coughing and as effective for moving distal secretions if not more (coughing increases plural pressure and the collapse/compression is more severe potentially inhibiting clearance)
38
Q

breathing control use

A

can reduce work of breathing

39
Q

thoracic expansion exercises use

A

hold and sniff can help improve lung volume

40
Q

forced expiration technique use

A
  • high and low voulmes to aid sputum clearance
  • can also be taught prophylactically
41
Q

bronchospasm precaution

A

care with forceed exhilation technique, may have brochodilators prior to maximise effects

42
Q

manual tecniques

A
  1. percussion
  2. shakes
  3. vibrations
43
Q

Percussion:

A
  • Rhythmical patting of the chest with a cupped hand
  • Performed during normal tidal breathing
  • Loosens the sputum from the walls of the airways
44
Q

shakes

A
  • Application of large oscillatory movements to the chest wall
  • Usually performed on expiration
    Mobilize secretions along the airways
45
Q

vibrations

A
  • Fine oscillatory movements to the chest wall
  • Usually performed on expiration
  • Mobilize secretions along the airways
46
Q

contraindications of manual techniques

A
  1. fractures - rib
  2. surgical wounds
  3. frank heamoptysis - alot of blood in sputum
  4. severe osteoporosis
  5. severe hypoxia
47
Q

precautions of manual techniques

A
  1. bronchospasm
  2. pain
  3. osteoporosis
  4. bone metastases
  5. near chest drains
48
Q

mobilisation and exercise Risk Assessment - TILEO

A
  • Think about what you plan to do
    - How will you manage that safely?
    - Incorporates aspects of A-E
    • CV stability
    • Oxygen requirement
    • Attachments
      • Any weight bearing restrictions?
      • Any investigations outstanding?
49
Q

mobilisation- Can be to:

A
  • The edge of the bed
  • A chair
  • Walking from A to B
  • Achieving functional level to return home
  • May require aids to assist:
  • For support and safety
  • To reduce the load and WOB
50
Q

exercise can be to

A
  • To maintain ROM and muscle strength
  • To improve exercise tolerance
  • To increase lung volumes
  • To aid sputum clearance
  • Prescription – what type and to what level, rep and sets.
  • Patients can be independent with exercises
51
Q

reduced exercise tolerance

A
  1. feel breathless
  2. avoid activitys that make you breathless
  3. you do less
  4. muscles become weaker and less efficient
  5. you get more breathless
  • Some patients need supplemental oxygen to be able to mobilise
  • Walking aids might help
  • Operate pacing and breathlessness management techniques.
52
Q

Monitoring Exercise Tolerance:

A
  • BORG - self-assessment of perceived exertion (often used in pulmonary rehab)
  • RPE - rate of perceived exertion
53
Q

Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR)

A
  • 6-12 week programme
  • Education & Exercise (cardio & strengthening)
  • Usually run in groups
  • Should involve the MDT
  • Aims to improve patient’s physical fitness and ability to manage their own condition
54
Q

education and advice

  • Long term secretion management
  • Hydration and diet
  • Medication
  • Pacing and activities
  • Exercise/ Pulmonary rehabilitation
  • Smoking cessation
