Q

IABP does what

A

asissts with circulation of blood through the body and reduces the work of the heart

47
Q

  • keep plugged in
  • no arm exercises above 90 deg
  • progressive ambulation (don’t push too hard too fast)
  • avoid simultaneous bilat shoulder flexion/abduction > 90 deg
57
Q

How do you measure exercise intensity with VAD pt’s?

A

RPE or pulsitory index (flow going through the device - will be low med or high)
cannot use pulse or BP b/c can’t feel pulse and BP won’t change with exercise

58
Q

Chest tubes are used for which 4 conditions

A

pneumothorax, hemothorax, empyema, pleural effusion

59
Q

chest tubes can drain in which 3 ways

A

1) naturally
2) with water seal which produces very light suction
3) suction hooked up to wall - for more advanced pleural effusions etc

60
Q

what do you do if you tip the chest tube over?

A

tell nurse b/c contents will be mixed
keep chest tube below level of body insertion area or drainage will flow back into body
document if more fluid comes out when pt sits up or stands

61
Q

chest tubes: doctors orders

A

can ask for order for portable suction so that you can ambulate pt. Doctor order is needed to disconnect suction.

62
Q

chest tubes” therapist implications

A
  • can exercise these pts if you have doctors order to disconnect suction
  • can do UE ROM! and should b/c pt may want to avoid this b/c it’s uncomfortable but need to do.
