Q

which intervention

Q

  • COPD?
  • heart failure
A

COPD - hydrostatic pressure, additional respiratory challenge

Heart failure - increase in cardiac volume that occurs during immersion may overwhelm the pumping ability of the heart

Q

pregnancy -
Positioning and exercise in supine position are contraindicated after what trimester?
why?

A

first trimester
Supine hypotension syndrome- per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines, due to the possibility of compression of the inferior vena cava from the growing uterus that has now moved to a more vertical position. The inferior vena cava can become even more compressed with active contraction of the abdominal muscles. This compression can result in decreased return venous flow to the heart and a sudden reduction in blood pressure

Q

what test?

  • diagnose and monitor the progression of chronic obstructive lung disease
  • volume of air the lung contains and information on the different lung capacities
A

Pulmonary function testing, i.e., spirometry
-Two forced spirometry measures that can be followed over time include forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC); the ratio of these values decreases as the severity of lung obstruction increases

22
Q

what test?
- most important noninvasive procedure used in the diagnosis and management of patients who have coronary artery disease.

A

maximal exercise test may be used to measure functional capacity and to diagnose coronary artery disease

23
Q

what pathology?

  • joint pain and swelling triggered by an infection in another part of your body — most often your intestines, genitals or urinary tract.
  • usually targets your knees and the joints of your ankles and feet.
  • Inflammation also can affect your eyes, skin and urethra.
A

Reactive arthritis

24

25
Q

normal respiratory rate for an adult

A

26
Q

normal respiratory rate for a

child who is 10 years old

A

15-20 breaths/min

27
Q

what breathing technique?

mechanism used to move mucus into large airways in order to produce an effective cough

A

Huffing

29
Q

what term?

Alveolar ventilation

30
Q

what term?

  • largest volume of air that can be inspired in one breath from the resting expiratory level
  • how to measure?
A
