- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- Sarcoidosis
- Scleroderma
208
Capillary refill test
Measures arterial flow of the small, distal vessels
209
Normal time for capillary refill
<3 seconds
210
What is associated w/ hyperresonance sound w/ mediate percussion?
- Air is more abundant than normal for a specific area of the lungs
- Associated w/ pneumothorax
211
What can happen as a result of a mucus plug?
- Can cause a ventilation-perfusion mismatch
- Results in hypoxia
212
What is an early sign of hypoxia?
Tachycardia
213
Stable angina
chest pain or discomfort that most often occurs with activity or emotional stress
214
Unstable angina
Is unpredictable and occurs at rest
215
Safe positioning for therapeutic exercise in patients w/ congestive heart failure
Maintain sitting or at least semi-recumbent positions
216
Dyspnea with congestive heart failure indicates what is occurring?
Increased fluid buildup
217
At what point should a patient with a cardiopulmonary condition not engage in rehab?
If they are symptomatic at rest. Additional criteria should be met to determine if it is a medical emergency
218
Afterload
- the pressure against which the heart has to contract to pump blood into the aorta
- inversely proportional to stroke volume
219
Preload
- the volume of blood returning to the heart
- directly proportional to the stroke volume
220
At what ABI is compression contraindicated?
<0.8
221
How to determine pressure applied when taking BP
- determine the amount of pressure needed to occlude flow at the radial artery (a distal site)
- The therapist should take the actual blood pressure 30 to 60 seconds after occluding the radial artery
- When taking the actual blood pressure, the therapist should inflate the cuff 15 to 20 mmHg MORE than required to occlude the radial artery.
222
How far above the antecubital fossa should the BP cuff be applied?
2.5 cm superior
223
Arm positioning when taking BP
Supported by the PT at the level of the heart
224
How to tell if cardiac ischemia is present based on ECG
- ST segment will be depressed
- T wave may be inverted
225
How to tell if an acute myocardial infarction is present w/ ECG
ST elevation
226
Systolic murmur
- Occur b/t S1 and S2, closer to S1
- Can be due to aortic stenosis or mitral regurgitation
227
Diastolic murmur
- Occur immediately after S2
- Can be due to aortic and pulmonary valves allowing regurgitation or mitral stenosis
228
What is likely to occur w/ kids who have a congenital heart defect?
- Defect can result in acute and/or chronic hypoxia from shunting and mixing oxygenated and unoxygenated blood
- Tachycardia would occur to match the increased demand for oxygen during activity and play
229
Pneumoperitoneum
the presence of air or gas in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity
230
ileus
- temporary lack of the normal muscle contractions of the intestines
- Abdominal surgery and medications that interfere with the intestine's movements are common causes
- Bloating, vomiting, constipation, cramps, and loss of appetite occur
231
Buerger disease
- typically found in people who smoke
- caused by inflammation that results in occlusion of the arteries and veins of the arms and legs
232
symptoms of Buerger disease
- sores on the toes and fingers
- pain
- tingling in the extremities
233
Cryotherapy and peripheral vascular disease
Due to induced vasoconstriction and increased blood viscosity, cryotherapy may make already poor circulation worse
DON'T DO IT
234
Most common post-op pulmonary complications
- Atelectasis
- Pneumonia
- Pulmonary edema
- Pulmonary emboli
235
Is pulmonary fibrosis considered a post-op pulmonary complication?
No
236
Metoprolol is what kind of medication?
- Beta blocker
- Cardioprotective
- Reduces HR and reduced cardiac output
237
Exercise hypertension
- >/= 90th percentile from relative normative data
- >/= 190 mmHg for females
- >/= 210 mmHg for males
238
At what point should exercise tolerance testing be stopped due to BP?
>250 mmHg
239
The diaphragm of the stethoscope is used for hearing which heart/lung sounds?
S1 and S2
240
The bell portion of the stethoscope is used for hearing which heart/lung sounds?
S3 and S4
241
Upper chest paradoxical breathing pattern
chest expands during inhalation and the abdomen is drawn inwards and then during exhalation the abdomen is pushed outwards
242
Effect of beta blockers
- Slow HR and decrease force of contraction
- Attenuates (lowers) HR increases normally seen w/ exercise
243
Homan's sign
- Discomfort in the calf muscles on forced dorsiflexion of the foot with the knee straight
- Sign of DVT
244
Relationship b/t 6MWT and cardiopulmonary event
The shorter distance walked indicates higher likelihood of a cardiac event
245
After taking beta blockers, would a drop of 20-30 bpm be of concern?
No, this amount of decrease would be expected
