Q

what positions help with dyspnea relief? why?

A

tripoding: when pt leans forward on supported hands the intraabdominal pressure rises and pushes the diaphragm up in a lengthened position
arms supported: accessory breathing muscles can help with expansion for inspiration
stabilizing chest against the wall: decreases work of breathing and of keeping upright posture

Q

what are the effects of pursed-lip breathing?

A

decreased symptoms of dyspnea, slowed respiratory rate, improved activity tolerance, and reduced wheezing
keeps airways from collapsing
creates a positive pressure splinting open the airways allowing for more gas exchange and increased time for exhale helping to promote prolonged expiration

Q

for which patients is incentive spirometry BEST utilized?

A

post surgical patients reluctant to take deep breaths d/t pain and anyone having difficulty getting air in

26
Q

what is diaphragmatic breathing used for?

A

to manage dyspnea, reduce atelectasis, and increase oxygenation

27
Q

what does the upper chest inhibiting technique help with?

A

helps a pt recruit the diaphragm during inhalation

28
Q

what does lateral costal breathing address?

A

rib cage mobility and intercostal muscles

29
Q

what is the difference between stacked breathing and progressive volume breaths?

A

stacked: series of inhalations that build of top the of previous breath without expiration up to maximal volume tolerated
progressive: take a series of breaths that are progressively increasing in depth but breath out between each breath

30
Q

what is stacked breathing used for?

A

hypoventilation, atelectasis, ineffective cough, pain, uncoordinated breathing pattern

improved ventilation and perfusion matching, resolution of atelectasis, reduced pain, and improves cough effectiveness

31
Q

what does progressive volume breaths assist with?

A

increasing inspiratory volume

32
Q

what is the inspiratory hold technique? what is its effect?

A

involves holding of breath at maximum inspiration for 2-3 seconds then relaxed exhalation
improved ventilation and profusion matching, resolution of atelectasis and improved cough effectiveness
allows for increased time for either gas exchange at the alveoli or collateral ventilation using lambert canals

33
Q

Inspiratory muscle training may be used to:

A

strengthen the primary and/or accessory muscles of inhalation in patients with poor maximal inspiratory pressure

34
Q

what are the effects of thoracic mobilization?

A

increase the ability of the thorax to expand during breathing

35
Q

what are the effects of counterrotation and butterfly rotation?

A

increase tidal volume and decrease RR by reducing tone and increasing thoracic mobility

36
Q

what are airway clearance techniques?

A

manual or mechanical procedures that facilitate mobilization of secretions from airways

37
Q

what are the indications for airway clearance tecnhniques?

A

impaired mucociliary transport, excessive pulmonary secretions, and an ineffective or absent cough

38
Q

selection of optimal airway clearance techniques are based on:

A

pathophysiology and symptoms, stability of medical status, and pt’s adherence to techniques

39
Q

what are the goals of airway clearance?

A

optimize airway patency, increase ventilation and perfusion matching, promote alveolar expansion, and increase gas exchange

40
Q

what are the 4 stages of an effective cough?

A

-an inspiration greater than tidal volume
-closure of the glottis
-contraction of abdominal and intercostal muscles, producing positive intrathoracic pressure
-sudden opening of the glottis and the forceful expansion of the inspired air

41
Q

what is included in the evaluation of an ineffective cough?

A

inhalation: needed to have enough air behind the secretions
inspiratory hold
forceful exhalation: generation of the force to expel secretions

42
Q

what is included in the sputum production and analysis?

A

amount: size, number of plugs
color: clear, white, yellow, green, bright red, brown/rusty
consistency: thick, thin
odor: waft down smell: no order, malodorous

43
Q

what does each color of sputum indicate?
white
yellow
green
brown
red

A

white: normal, allergies, or viral infection
yellow: developing an infection
green: viral or bacterial infection
brown: dried blood or heavy smoking
red: bleeding in respiratory tract

44
Q

what is huffing designed to do?

A

move the mucus with less risk of dynamic airway collapse than deep, strong coughing (less bronchial irritation)

45
Q

what does medium volume huffing help with?

A

move secretions lower down in the airways

46
Q

what does high volume huffing help with?

A

moving secretions in the upper airways

47
Q

what is the difference between stacked cough and progressive cough?

A

stacked: one big breath in, 3 coughs in same exhalation
progressive: progressively larger coughs, in 3 different breaths

48
Q

what is active cycle of breathing?

A

a series of maneuvers performed by the pt to promote independence in secretion clearance and thoracic expansion

49
Q

what is autogenic drainage?

A

pattern of controlled breathing of different volumes to mobilize secretions
-large inhale with slow sign to exhale all the way to the bottom
-breathe in bottom 1/3 until crackles
-breathe in middle 1/3 until crackles
-breathe in top 1/3 until crackles
then huff out secretions

50
Q

what is postural drainage?

positioning that allows gravity assist with draining secretions from each lung segment
stay in each position 5-10 minutes

what is the positioning for upper lobe anterior segment PT?

A

bed flat 0 degrees

54
Q

what is the positioning for lingula or right lobe PT?

60
Q

what is vibration?

A

performed manually or mechanically in postural drainage positions to clear secretions
