Q

ASA Physical Status Classification System Purpose

A

System is to assess and communicate a patients pre-anesthesia medical co-morbidities. It does not alone predict preoperative risk, but is used with other factors (type of surgery, frailty, level of deconditioning) that can be helpful in predicting perioperative risks

Q

What are 6 challenges of physiotherapist in the pre-operative period?

A

-Patients can be coming in for anything so might not be in scope of practice for PT’s
-Pre-operative clinics have reduced space
-Patients worried about surgery, not the functional aspects of surgery at this time
-Timing does not align with surgeries
-Negotiating with other healthcare providers for the patients time before surgery
-Funding not set up for many surgeries for prehab (no public coverage would have to be private)

Q

What are the 4 primary effects of upper abdominal or thoracic incisions on the pulmonary system and its impact

A

**Taken together, these changes result in decreased ventilation in the dependent lung zones -> leads to increased ventilation -perfusion mismatch and hypoxemia

NOTE: lower FRC is cause incision acts as a restriction to increase lung capacity

Q

What are the expected IPPA findings and factors that would put individual at risk for post-op cardiopulmonary complications?

A

**Do motor and sensory testing on patient’s with epidural to ensure the epidural is in the right spot and doesn’t cause loss of motor and sensory function

Negative Factors:
-Age
-General Anesthesia
-Past TIA
-Location of incision (abdominal)
-Bladder cancer
-Smoking
-Sedentary
-Length of surgery and in supine position (lying flat causes hypoventilation because abdomen pushes on lungs
-Stairs at house
Positive Factors:
-Independent without gait aid (can use gait aid but cant put weight through -> fitted properly)
-Pain is minimal
-Oriented and awake

I: Lines and tubes (nasal prongs, catheter, epidural, IV, SPO2, telemetry, arterial line, NG tube, incisional draining) Incision (sutures and dressings), might use accessory muscles and not diaphragm for breathing (dont want to pull on incision = apical instead of diaphragmatic breathing pattern -> shallower faster breaths), weak cough
P: Breath rate (incision may reduce), chest wall expansion (more pump-handle than bucket handle)
P: Would do if found something funny in auscultation (not a high priority) -> dull lower lobes
A: Fine crackles in lower lobes (atelectasis)

What are 6 other post-surgical complications that could occur

A
29
Q

Atelectasis

A
30
Q

What are 3 causes of atelectasis

A
31
Q

What are 3 clinical presentations for atelectasis

A
32
Q

What is the physiotherapy management for atelectasis

A

It depends on what we can treat:
-Breathing strategies to improve breathing and ventilation
-Get mucous plug out

-Cannot fix a collapsed lung. Only can work on it if pneumothorax is treated to help with lung expansion
-Cannot treat tumors or blockage

33
Q

Pulmonary Edema

A
34
Q

Hydrostatic pressure

A
35
Q

Osmotic pressure

A
36
Q

What are 3 factors that determine the flow of fluid in the lungs

A
37
Q

Explain the Starling equation

A

DONT NEED TO KNOW

38
Q

What is normal about the capillary endothelium in terms of osmotic and and hydrostatic pressure

A
39
Q

What are 4 factors that can cause pulmonary edema to occur

A
40
Q

What are 2 major types of pulmonary edema

A
41
Q

What is the clinical presentation and course of pulmonary edema (5)

A

Orthopnea: Cant breathe well lying down

42
Q

What does physiotherapy management look like for pulmonary edema?

A

Can suction to keep airway clear but will just keep coming back (maintenance). Needs to be treated before we can help them. Cannot treat pulmonary edema by itself as it needs to be addressed medically.

43
Q

Pulmonary embolism and lung infarction

A
44
Q

Where do pulmonary embolism (thrombi) mainly form

A

In the lower extremities (deep vein thrombosis)

45
Q

What are 4 causes of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

A
46
Q

T or F: In some cases of pulmonary embolism/deep vein thrombosis lung tissue can be totally blocked

A

True <10% -> causes infarction and necrosis of lung parenchyma

47
Q

What are 5 clinical presentations of pulmonary embolism and lung infarction

A
48
Q

What is the physiotherapy management for pulmonary embolism and lung infarction?

A

We cant treat

49
Q

Describe V/Q Mismatching between atelectasis, normal, and pulmonary embolism

A
50
Q

Describe Dean’s Hierarchy for treatment of patients with impaired oxygen transport (post-op care)

A
51
Q

What are 8 common postoperative PT treatment regimens

A
52
Q
A

-Sitting up, maybe standing or walking
-Ankle and foot pumps
-Education on rehab process and your role
-Breathing exercises (decrease hypoventilation atelectasis)

53
Q

What is the treatment for secretion retention

A

**Dont really need to know

54
Q

What is the active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT)

A

Incorporates breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises and huffing to mobilize and clear bronchial secretions through:
1) Breathing control: Diaphragmatic breathing at normal volumes
2) Thoracic expansion: Deep inspiration and hold with unforced expiration
**Look at circle for steps

55
Q

What is the proposed mechanism by which ACBT/FET results in secretion clearance?

A

Huffing = coughing with an open glottis

56
Q

What are 2 techniques that PT’s use post-op on the chest?

A
  1. Percussion/Vibration
  2. Postural Drainage
57
Q

Postural drainage

A

Uses gravity to drain bronchopulmonary segment (position depends on anatomical position of airways)

58
Q

Describe positive expiratory pressure (PEP)

A

Helps remove secretion clearance

59
Q

What are 3 types of PEP?

A
60
Q

Describe the 5 steps to PEP

A

1) Inspiration: Through mask/mouthpiece to TV or slightly above
2) Expiration: Slightly active, through mouth against resistor to create back pressure
3) Breathe 12-15x with device
4) Huff/cough to clear secretions
5) Repeat 5-6 cycles or until secretions are cleared

61
Q

What is oscillating PEP
