improves SOB & fatigue
most efficient muscle for breathing

helps control SOB
quickly slows down pace of breathing
moves old air out of lungs

25
reporting to therapist

32
Documenting how long...
pt. is able to tolerate each activity to show progress overtime

doc difficulty
activity and progression each session that you're addressing activity tolerance
34
RR and pattern - Normal
Symmetry between movement of chest wall and abdomen

Kyphotic chest
increased curvature of spine postural (hunched over) reduced air flow/ineffective inspiration seen more in frail pt. posture education
43
Scoliotic chest
curvature of spine reduced air dysfunctional respiratory muscles
44

increased RR cyanosis around lips, nails nostrils flaring indrawing sweating wheezing/whistling positioning
45

blue lips loss of heat from lips or nails
46
