Q

what positions help with dyspnea relief? why?

A

tripoding: when pt leans forward on supported hands the intraabdominal pressure rises and pushes the diaphragm up in a lengthened position
arms supported: accessory breathing muscles can help with expansion for inspiration
stabilizing chest against the wall: decreases work of breathing and of keeping upright posture

Q

what are the effects of pursed-lip breathing?

A

decreased symptoms of dyspnea, slowed respiratory rate, improved activity tolerance, and reduced wheezing
keeps airways from collapsing
creates a positive pressure splinting open the airways allowing for more gas exchange and increased time for exhale helping to promote prolonged expiration

25
for which patients is incentive spirometry BEST utilized?
post surgical patients reluctant to take deep breaths d/t pain and anyone having difficulty getting air in
26
what is diaphragmatic breathing used for?
to manage dyspnea, reduce atelectasis, and increase oxygenation
27
what does the upper chest inhibiting technique help with?
helps a pt recruit the diaphragm during inhalation
28
what does lateral costal breathing address?
rib cage mobility and intercostal muscles
29
what is the difference between stacked breathing and progressive volume breaths?
stacked: series of inhalations that build of top the of previous breath without expiration up to maximal volume tolerated progressive: take a series of breaths that are progressively increasing in depth but breath out between each breath
30
what is stacked breathing used for?
hypoventilation, atelectasis, ineffective cough, pain, uncoordinated breathing pattern improved ventilation and perfusion matching, resolution of atelectasis, reduced pain, and improves cough effectiveness
31
what does progressive volume breaths assist with?
increasing inspiratory volume
32
what is the inspiratory hold technique? what is its effect?
involves holding of breath at maximum inspiration for 2-3 seconds then relaxed exhalation improved ventilation and profusion matching, resolution of atelectasis and improved cough effectiveness allows for increased time for either gas exchange at the alveoli or collateral ventilation using lambert canals
33
Inspiratory muscle training may be used to:
strengthen the primary and/or accessory muscles of inhalation in patients with poor maximal inspiratory pressure
34
what are the effects of thoracic mobilization?
increase the ability of the thorax to expand during breathing
35
what are the effects of counterrotation and butterfly rotation?
increase tidal volume and decrease RR by reducing tone and increasing thoracic mobility
36
what are airway clearance techniques?
manual or mechanical procedures that facilitate mobilization of secretions from airways
37
what are the indications for airway clearance tecnhniques?
impaired mucociliary transport, excessive pulmonary secretions, and an ineffective or absent cough
38
selection of optimal airway clearance techniques are based on:
pathophysiology and symptoms, stability of medical status, and pt's adherence to techniques
39
what are the goals of airway clearance?
optimize airway patency, increase ventilation and perfusion matching, promote alveolar expansion, and increase gas exchange
40
what are the 4 stages of an effective cough?
-an inspiration greater than tidal volume -closure of the glottis -contraction of abdominal and intercostal muscles, producing positive intrathoracic pressure -sudden opening of the glottis and the forceful expansion of the inspired air
41
what is included in the evaluation of an ineffective cough?
inhalation: needed to have enough air behind the secretions inspiratory hold forceful exhalation: generation of the force to expel secretions
42
what is included in the sputum production and analysis?
amount: size, number of plugs color: clear, white, yellow, green, bright red, brown/rusty consistency: thick, thin odor: waft down smell: no order, malodorous
43
what does each color of sputum indicate? white yellow green brown red
white: normal, allergies, or viral infection yellow: developing an infection green: viral or bacterial infection brown: dried blood or heavy smoking red: bleeding in respiratory tract
44
what is huffing designed to do?
move the mucus with less risk of dynamic airway collapse than deep, strong coughing (less bronchial irritation)
45
what does medium volume huffing help with?
move secretions lower down in the airways
46
what does high volume huffing help with?
moving secretions in the upper airways
47
what is the difference between stacked cough and progressive cough?
stacked: one big breath in, 3 coughs in same exhalation progressive: progressively larger coughs, in 3 different breaths
48
what is active cycle of breathing?
a series of maneuvers performed by the pt to promote independence in secretion clearance and thoracic expansion
49
what is autogenic drainage?
pattern of controlled breathing of different volumes to mobilize secretions -large inhale with slow sign to exhale all the way to the bottom -breathe in bottom 1/3 until crackles -breathe in middle 1/3 until crackles -breathe in top 1/3 until crackles then huff out secretions
50
what is postural drainage?
positioning that allows gravity assist with draining secretions from each lung segment stay in each position 5-10 minutes
51
what is the positioning for upper lobe posterior apical segment PT?
seated/reclined 15 degrees forward
52
what is the positioning for upper lobe anterior apical segment PT?
seated/reclined 15 degrees back
53
what is the positioning for upper lobe anterior segment PT?
bed flat 0 degrees
54
what is the positioning for lingula or right lobe PT?
1/4 supine head down 20 degrees or 12 inches
55
what is the positioning for lower lobe lateral segment PT?
side lying head down 30 degrees or 18 inches
56
what is the positioning for lower lobe posterior segment PT?
1/4 prone head down 30 degrees or 18 inches
57
what is the positioning for lower lobe posterior superior segment PT?
prone bed flat
58
what is the positioning for lower lobe anterior basal segment PT?
1/4 turn from supine at 18 inches or 30 degrees head down
59
what is percussion?
attempts to lossen retained secretions manually or mechanically rhythmical clapping with cupped hands over the affected lung segment
60
what is vibration?
performed manually or mechanically in postural drainage positions to clear secretions clinician exerts pressure on the pt's chest wall at the end of a deep inspiration and gently oscillates in through the end of expiration
