Q

limited incentives for high-quality transitional care

Q

fear of litigation

A
  • practice of “negative defensive medicine” prevalent in many settings, especially older adults
  • mobility is often avoided by nursing and CNAs because it is unnecessary fall risk
  • “do no harm principle” too extreme?
  • falls more quantifiable and more closely tied to financial penalties and are more likely to result in “fault” than deconditioning
  • so we avoid supervised and unsupervised mobility to decrease risk of falls – at risk of deconditioning

Q

anaerobic threshold (AT)

A
  • point at which you are no longer capable of performing work solely aerobically (start to perform anaerobically so build up of lactic acid)
  • usually about 55% of max VO2
  • with training increases (>55%)
  • with detraining decreases (<55%)

Q

relationship of VO2 to METs

A
  • 1 MET = requirement of O2 of tissue of body at rest
  • 1 MET = 3.5 mLO2/Kg x min
  • with activity VO2 increases and therefore METs increase
  • any activity that burns 3-6 METs is considered moderate-intensity physical activity
  • any activity that burns > 6 METs is considered vigorous-intensity physical activity

Q

oxygen consumption and disability

21
Q

before exercise capacity testing

  • diaphoresis
  • SOB
  • angina
  • MI
  • stroke
  • death
23
Q

risks and exercise testing

A
  • for persons with CAD, risk of complications like MI or death are 60-100 times greater during exercise testing than in usual activity
  • actual risk of death is very low (0.5/10,000) due to appropriate screening and adherence to methods of conducting tests
24
Q

A
  • low level graded exercise test (LLGXT)
  • field testing - time, distance
  • other - walk, bike, activity
25
Q

standardized procedures for exercise testing

A
  • explanation of procedure
  • avoid maximal activity for 24 hours prior
  • avoid for 2-3 hours prior: large meal, nicotine, caffeine (unless it’s part of their normal routine)
  • repeat submax test if possible
26
Q

general guidelines for submax testing

A
  • warm up: 2-3 minutes
  • measure HR, BP, RPE at regular intervals
  • end of each stage or every minute
  • if HR does not reach steady state during the stage, extend stage 1 minute
  • increase intensity in 0.5-2 MET increments
  • closely observe for signs/symptoms
  • cool-down: low intensity for > 4 minutes
  • continue measuring HR, BP, RPE
27
Q

submax test assumptions

A
  1. a steady-state HR is obtained for each exercise work rate (plateau HR in each stage)
  2. a mx HR for a given age is uniform (220-age)
  3. mechanical efficiency (VO2 at a given work rate) is the same for everyone
  4. there is a linear relationship between HR and workload
  5. HR will vary depending on fitness level between subjects at any given workload

submax testing underestimates VO2 max in untrained and overestimates tra

28
Q

advantages of submax testing

  7. can do mass testing
  8. no physician supervision required - if symptom and disease free
