Q

Why do patients that smoke who have COPD have higher death rates than those with COPD who do not smoke?

A

Chemicals in cigarettes irritate and inflame the alveoli in the lungs which causes the cells to release an enzyme called elastase that breaks down elastic fibers over time

Q

What are some complications of corticosteroids or steroids during exercise?

A

tachycardia, heart palpitations, weight gain, muscle/bone wasting

24
Q

For COPD, what are some of the main goals of exercising?

A
  1. BIG GOAL MAKE THEM MORE EFFICIENT
  2. Strengthen the respiratory muscles
  3. Improve capacity of heart to pump blood
25
Q

What is “chronic lung hyperinflation” also known as?

A

Barrel chest
- also associated with osteoarthritis

26
Q

What are the 4 abnormalities of gas exchange?

A
  1. The alveoli next to the capillaries are destroyed
  2. Reduces the internal surface area of the lung
  3. Reduces gas exchange across the membrane
  4. CO2 build up & reduction in available oxygen
27
Q

< ____% O2 in blood stream = hypoxic

A

90%

28
Q

Oxygen consumption can increase to ____ fold during physical activity.

A

20

29
Q

What is the main concern of COPD response to exercise?

A

Lungs have difficulty keeping up with the demand of PA and hypoxemia results
- ventilation increases greatly due to very inefficient breathing
- abnormal deficiency in the concentration of oxygen in arterial blood (norm is 97%)

30
Q

What is a pulse oximeter and what does it do?

A

it is the gadget you put on your finger to look at O2 levels
- uses red & infrared wavelengths to measure the amount of oxy- & deoxyhemoglobin in the arterial blood, and also reads HR.

30
Q

True or False:
In the exercise response of COPD, supported upper body activities allow accessory muscles to contribute more.

A

True

30
Q

What are two breathing techniques for therapy for COPD?

A
  1. Pursed Lipped Breathing
  2. Diaphragmatic Breathing
30
Q

What are some irritants that cause asthma? (6)

A
  1. Cig smoke
  2. Air pollution
  3. Cold air or changes in weather
  4. Strong odors from painting or cooking
  5. Scented products
  6. Strong emotions and stress
30
Q

What is asthma?

A

an obstructive pulmonary disease
- frequent flare ups of inflammation in the lungs

30
Q

What are some allergens that cause asthma? (5)

A
  1. Animal dander
  2. Dust mites
  3. Roaches
  4. Pollen
  5. Mold
31
Q

What are some signs and symptoms of asthma?

A
  1. Coughing
  2. Wheezing
  3. Chest tightness
  4. SOB
  5. Faster/noisy breathing
    - symptom timing may vary
31
Q

What are the spirometry measurements for mild, moderate, and severe asthma?

A

Mild: FEV1 60-80%
Moderate: FEV1 40-60%
Severe: FEV1 <40%

32
Q

What is exercise induced asthma (EIA)?

A

Airway obstruction that occurs 5-15 minutes following physical exertion; constriction of bronchioles can last up to 30 min

33
Q

What is allergy induced asthma?

A

Due to pollution, pollen, food allergies, or any variety of environmental allergens that can induce bronchospasm.

34
Q

What are some of the main testing precautions to take when it comes to asthma?

A
  • Running more readily provokes EIA than jogging and jogging more than walking.
  • Clients have a higher risk for CAD
  • Testing mid-late morning or early afternoon is desirable; avoid early mornings

True

39

41
Q

What is the main goal of pulmonary rehab?

Q

True or False:
Entire rehab team generally works together to meet specific needs.

A

True

43
Q

What are some of the measurable outcomes (objective)?

A

  • change in breathing sounds
  • change in vitals
44
Q

What are 5 things pulmonary rehab includes?

  2. Deep breathing
  3. Box breathing
  4. Alternate nostril breathing
  5. 4-7-8 breathing
46
Q

What is postural drainage?

A

done by positioning the body so that your head is lower than your chest which allows mucus to drain from the bottom of lungs

47
Q

For postural drainage, you should maintain position for at least __ minutes

A

5

48
