(62 cards)
What are the FEV1 and FEV1/FVC values for a patient with mild lung disease?
FEV1: greater or equal than 80
FEV1/FVC: less than 70
What should be present in sufficient amounts for more maximal efforts in a patient with mild lung disease?
Vent reserve
What type of hypoxemia can moderate lung disease patients experience at rest?
Mild to moderate hypoxemia
What is the value for hypoxemia?
Below 75 mmHg
What is the goal of a patient with moderate lung disease regarding physiological responses to exercise?
To improve physiological responses including decreasing minute ventilation and decreasing heart rate
What is the value of FEV1 for a patient with moderate lung disease? How about severe?
Moderate: less than 80
Severe: less than 50
What may patients with severe lung disease experience during exercise?
Right ventricular dysfunction due to pulmonary hypertension
What are some other signs of poor oxygenation besides shortness of breath and decreased SaO2?
Retained secretions and cyanosis
What are some clinical examples of poor oxygenation?
- Pneumonia
- Chronic bronchitis
- Cystic fibrosis
What occurs as a result of respiratory muscle weakness or diaphragm weakness?
Ventilatory pump dysfunction
What is ventilatory pump dysfunction a precursor of?
Pump failure
What may a patient present with during exercise with ventilatory pump dysfunction?
- Shortness of breath
- Costal retraction
- Further decrease in O2 saturation
- Concomitant cyanosis
What is the goal of supplemental oxygen?
To maintain saturation at 88-92% without suppression of respiratory drive from CNS
Which position places the least amount of stress on the diaphragm?
Leaning forward
Which type of ventilatory pump failure involves increased effort and accessory muscle recruitment?
Mechanical
Which type of ventilatory pump failure has increased effort and dyspnea?
Muscle
What type of ventilatory pump failure has decreased or normal effort?
Control (CNS problem)
What techniques would help a patient with mechanical ventilatory pump failure?
- Pursed lips
- Diaphragm & lower rib cage expansion
- Positioning
What techniques would help a patient with muscle ventilatory pump failure?
- Diaphragmatic breathing
- Scooping
Describe paradoxical breathing seen with ventilatory pump failure.
During inspiration, abdomen and ribcage go in opposite directions
What positions may help a patient with ventilatory pump failure?
- Leaning forward in chair
- Abdominal binder to help get diaphragm up
What is the term for 3-4 broken ribs that can puncture lungs?
Flail segment
What is pulmonary hypertension (PH) defined as?
Mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 20 mmHg at rest and greater than 30 mmHg at exercise
What is the hallmark sign of pulmonary hypertension?
Chronically elevated pulmonary artery pressure
