PEP flutter device
By breathing out with a moderate force through a resistance, a positive pressure is generated in the airways, helping to keep them open. This positive pressure allows airflow to get beneath the areas of mucus obstruction and move the mucus toward the larger airways, where it can be coughed out. Positive expiratory pressure therapy can also help deliver medication deeper into the lungs when done with nebulized bronchodilator therapy.

What impact will hyperventilation have on a patient's arterial blood gas?
What impact will hyperventilation have on a patient's arterial blood gas? lower the pH decrease the PaO2 decrease the PaCO2 increase the PaCO2 Correct Answer: decrease the PaCO2 PaCO2 is directly related to ventilation. Therefore, as the patient hyperventilates, PaCO2 will decrease as more and more carbon dioxide is expelled.

systematic approach to analyzing ECG
1. scan rhythm strip (is the rate unusually slow or fast? does rhythm appear to be regular? are there any abnormal looking beats?) 2. determine the heart rate (regular rhythm divide 300 by the number of large squares between two consecutive P waves, if irregular then count the nmber of QRS complexes in a 6 second strip and multiply by 10) 3. evaluate the rhythm by comparing R to R intervals (regular rhythm: R to R intervals are within 0.044 seconds, if irregular is there a pattern or it is totally irregular?) 4. evaluate P waves (present vs absent, identical in shape? upright in leads I, II, and III? each P wave followed by a QRS complex?) 5. if P waves are present, measure PR interval to elvauate for conduction blocks (normal .12 to .2 seconds) 6. examine QRS complexes to determine if conduction is normal through the ventricles (normal: QRS width is 0.04 to 0.1 seconds in all leads, identical in shape?) 7. assess ST segment 0.08 seconds after the J point (is segment at isoelectric baseline, depressed or elevated?)

hypertensive crisis what to do
A hypertensive crisis occurs when measured blood pressure is greater than 180 mm Hg and/or greater than 120 mm Hg DBP. If blood pressure is 180/120 or greater and with other associated symptoms of potential organ damage such as chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness/weakness, change in vision, or difficulty speaking then this would be considered a hypertensive emergency. This type of scenario warrants immediate medical attention including calling 911.

2nd degree atrioventricular block
AV conduction disturbance in which impulses between the atria and ventricles fail intermittently two major types = mobitz I - progressive prolongation of PR interval until one impulse is not conducted (generally benign) mobitz II - consecutive PR intervals are the same and normal followed by nonconduction of one or more impulses (a more serious condition). if the heart rate is slow, cardiac output will decrease with the blocked impulse. also 2nd degree AV block may progress to 3rd degree AV block

if the diaphragm is paralyzed what muscles should you strengthen
accessory muscles of INSPIRATION aka scalenes and SCM not the abs (TA, I/E obliques) because those are accessory for EXPIRATION which drive intra abdominal pressure up when they contract and thus push the diaphragm, raising pleural pressure which raises alveolar pressure which in turn pushes air out and they would not help with inspiration

contamination vs colonization vs infection
contam - presence of non replicating bacteria on a wound surface that causes no additional tissue injury and does not stimulate an inflammatory immune response colonization - presence of replicating bacteria on a wound surface that does not invade or futher injure tissues and does not stimulate an inflammatory immune reopnse (can delay healing, however, colonized bacteria occasionally benefit the wound by preventing more virulent organisms from proliferating in the wound bed) infection - presence of replicating bacteria that invades viable tissue beyond the wound surface causing a visible inflammatory immune response, infection will delay wound helaing significantly and if untreated can progress to sepsis, osetomyelitis, and gangrene
wheeze
continuous "musical" or whistling sound composed of a variety of pitches heard during both inspiration and/or expiration but variable from minute to minute and area to area arise from turbulent (moving unsteadily or violently) airflow and the vibrations of the walls of small airways due to narrowing by bronchospasm, edema, collapse, secretions, neoplasm, or foreign body

enzymatic debridement
SELECTIVE refers to the topical application of an enzymatic preparation to necrotic tissue can be used on infected and non infected wounds with necrotic tissue used for wounds that have NOT responsed to autolytic debridement or in conjunction with other debridement techniques can be slow to establish a clean wound bed and should be d/c'd once devitalized tissue is removed to avoid damage to adjacent healthy tissue
sharp debridement
SELECTIVE requires the use of scalpel, scissors and or forceps to selectively remove devitalized tissue, foreign material or debris from a wound most often sued for wounds with large amounts of thick adherent necrotic tissue however it may also beused in the persence of cellulitis or sepsis sharp debridement most expedient (beneficial, efficient, convient) form of removeing necrotic tissue PTs are PERMITTED to perform sharp, selective debridement as a procedural intervention
autolytic debridement
SELECTIVE use of the bodys own mechanisms to remove the nonviable tissues common methods include the use of transparents films, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, and alginates it establishes a MOIST wound environment that rehydrates necrotic tissue and eschar, facilitating enzymatic digestion of the nonviable tissue this tpe of debridement is non invasive and pain free can be used with any amount of necrotic tissue however requires a longer healing period and SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMED ON INFECTED WOUNDS (but there are expections i.e. alginate)

What is the primary purpose for using an intra-aortic balloon pump? increase cardiac index facilitate cardiac output monitor left ventricle pressure administer medications Correct Answer: facilitate cardiac output An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a balloon catheter placed within the aorta that inflates during diastole and deflates during systole. This results in increased coronary artery perfusion and decreased afterload. The IABP facilitates cardiac output, increases coronary artery perfusion, and decreases myocardial oxygen consumption.

during an US, the pt flinches and feels a strong ache should you... decrease the frequency add more tranmission medium decrease the US intensity increase the size of the tx area
decrease the intensity acoustical energy is reflected from bone into the bone tissue interface, resulting in rapid tissue temperature elevation and stimulation of the highly sensitive periosteum of the bone (which is what causes the ache if it is too rapid), if a strong ache is felt you must decrease the intenstiy frequency has to do with the depth it penetrates which doesnt effect the rate or speed at which the tissue temperature is being elevated
postpolio pt too tired to come to therapy what should you do
decrease the intensity and duration but maintain a frequency of 3x per week (1x per week would be too little to be beneficial) nonexhaustive exercise and general body conditioning is indicated
beta blocker agents (beta-adrenergic blocking agents)
decrease the myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing heart rate and contractility by blocking B-adrenergic receptors used for hypertension, angina, arrhythmias, heart failure, migraines, essential tremor side effects include bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, fatigue, depression, dizziness, weakness, blurred vision HR and BP response to exercsie will be diminished, rate of perceived exertion may be used to monitor exercise intensity, closely monitor patients during positional changes due to an increased risk for orthostatic hypotension i.e. tenormin (atenolol), lopressor (metoprolol), inderal (propranolol)
mucolytic agents
decrease the viscosity of mucus secretions by altering their composition and consistency, making them easier to expectorate, they are administered by a nebulizier used for viscous mucus secretions due to pneumonia, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis side effects include pharyngitis, oral mucosa inflammation, rhinitis, chest pain therapists can exploit the effects of mucolytic agents by performing airway clearnce within one hour after drug administration patients should be instructed in the proper use and maintenance of the nebulizer and compressor system used in its delivery i.e. pulmozyme (dornase alpha), mucosil or mucomyst (acetylcysteine)

alginates
derived from a seaweed extraction, specifically, the calcium salt component of alginic acid alginates are HIGHLY ABSORPTIVE but are also highly permeable and non occlusive as a result, they require a SECONDARY DRESSING (alginate absorbs) alginate dressings act as a hemostat (contols bleeding) and crate a hydrophilic gel through the interaction o calcium ions in the dressing and sodium ions in the wound exudate indications = PARTIAL OR FULL THICKNESS DRAINING WOUNDS such as pressure or venous insifficicency ulcers, often used on INFECTED wounds due to the likelihood of excessive drainage advantages = high absorptive capacity enables autolytic debridement offers protection from microbial contamination can be used on infected or non infected wounds nonadhereing to wound disadvantages = may require frequent dressing changes based on level of exudate requires a secondary dressing cannot be used on wounds with an exposred tendon, joint capsule or bone
growth factors
dervied from natually occuring protein factors these substances facilitate healing by stimulating the actvity of specific cell types (i.e. neurtophils, endothelial cells, fibroblasts) currently only a limited number of growth factors have been approxed by the FDA for topical wound healing applications indiactions = neuropathic ulcers extending into or through subcutaneous tissue with adeqaute circulation to sustain wound healing contraindications = wounds closed by promar intention, pts with known hypersensitivity to any component of the product of a history of neoplasm (abnormal growth) at the application site advantages = adjunct to promote wound healing environment increases growth rate of new tissue promotes cell division disadvantes = costly poor reimbursement additional research needed secondary dressing required requires refridgeration limited number of products have been approved by the FDA

diagnostic procedure in which cardiovascular stress is induced by pharmacologic agents when contraindications to a routine exercise stress test exist or when the patient is unable to exercise due to injury or another debilitating condition, it is used in combo with imaging modalities such as radionuclide imaging and echocardiography pharma agents = adenosine, dipyridamole, dobutamine
computed tomography CT
diagnostic test that uses an x-ray machine that rotates around a patient lying on a table computer processes that info from the scanner and create a pic of the organ and surrounding structures pics are slices of the body called tomograms and each picture is called a computed tomograph newest models of CT allow pics of the coronary arteries to be taken without the need for catheterization
diarrhea/constipation
diarrhea is defined as an abnormal frequeny=cy or volume of stool and can cappear as a sx of certian GI patholig es constipation is defined sa the infrequent or difficult passage of stoool, secondary to an increase in the hardness of the stool and can also appear as a sx odcertin GI patholiges
diastolic and exertion, when should exercise be terminated with respect to BP change
diastolic pressure may increase or decrease a maximum of 10 mmHg due to adaptive dilation of peripheral vasculature in a typical clinical setting, the exercise session should be TERMINATED if the systolic pressure exceeds 210 mmHg or if the diastolic pressure exceeds 110mmHg
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic generally increases in direct proportion to the intensity of exercise since systolic pressure increases with exercise and diastolic tends to stay the same in a healthy adult, it is common to see a 40-50 mmHg change in systolic pressure with intense exercise excessive pulse pressure may be indicative of stiffening of the aorta secondary to atherosclerosis
angina pectoris SILVER
diminished myocardial perfusion most commonly caused by narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries (due to embolism, atherosclerosis, inflammation), when the tissues oxygen demand is greater than that provided by the coronary arteries, myocardial ischemia results producing characterist chcest pain specific type of pain is termed angina pectoris and is most commonly associated with coronary artery disease not an independent disease process but rather a sx of myocardial ischemia risk factors include family history of HD, smoing, physcal inactivity, stress hypertension elvated cholesterol diabetes mellitus and obesity presentation = uncomfortable or painful feeling of tighness pressure fullness or squzeeing in the center of the chest sx will typically presnt on the LEFT side of the body in the back arm shoulder neck or jaw when accomapanied by radiating pain sob and unexplained fatugeu are also freqnly reported stable angina occurs predicably in response to activities taht increase the oxygen demand such as exercise, stresss cold weather, large meals, stable will not last longer than 15 min and are relieved with rest and or nitro unstable is typically considered more serious since it occurs without causes and is often unresponsive to nitro 12-lead ECG most commonly used to daignose angina pectorsi with an INVERTED T WAVE indicating myocardial ischemia in patients with a normal ECG should undergo a more provocative exercise ECG or stress test diagnosis of angina is most often confirmed by first diagnosing the underlying pathology causing the ischemia focus on the underlying pathology pharma aspirin nitrates beta blcokers statins calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors surgery would be to widen a coronary artery in order to improve blood flow angioplpasty, stent placement, endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass graft are common lifestylchanges nutritional management is key increased risk for developing cardiac arrhytmias or experiencing a myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest

antiarrhythmic agents
divided into 4 classes: class 1 - sodium channel blockers, control cardiac excitation and conduction class 2 - beta blockers, inhibit sympathetic activity by blocking B-adrenergic receptors class 3 - prolong repolarization by inhibiting both potassium and sodium channels and are often considered the most effective antiarrhythmic agent class 4 - calcium channel blockers, depress depolarization and slow conduction though the AV node for cardiac arrhythmias side effects include exacerbation of cardiac arrhythmias, dizziness and hypotension

etiology unknown result of an abnormal immune system response to some foreign substance such as an inhaled bacterium virus chemical or allergen characterized by the growth of small, abnormal collections of inlfkammatory cells known as granulomas within the bodys organs can affect any of the organs more than others, speficially the lungs, lymph nodes, and skin when multiple granulomas form within an organ it will affect how the organ functions leading to a variety of s/s depending on the organ affected if the condition affects the heart or brain, serous complciations can occur many ppl have no s/s or only mildones when in lungs s/s include...wheezing, coughing, SOB and chest pain other sx may include fatigue, weight loss, blurry vision enlarged lymph nodes, sore or areas of disclolored skin and painful sweollen joints may present with a specific set of signs and symptoms knowns as LOFGRENS SYNDROME which is an acute form of sarcoidosis no specific test diagnosed by exclusion chest xray is often perfoemd since the large majority of patietsn with the condition will have an abnoraml chest xray bipsy may also be ordered to check for the prsence of gradulations
pulmonary edema BRONZE
excess fluid within the lungs, occurs when the L ventricle is unable to adequately pump blood to the systemic cirulation causes fluid to back up into the pulmonary ciruclation and the lungs other causes of fluid build up withiin the lungs include living at high elevations, respiratory distress syndrome, PE, adverse drug rxns, viral infections, smoke inhalation and exporesur to toxins acute pulmonary edema is considered a medical emergency!!! as the pressure in the pulmonary circulation increases, the flud moves from the lung capillaries INTO the aleveoli which makes breathing more difficult in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, the fluid buildup in the alveoli is not caused by an increase in pressure but rather an increase in permeability of the capillaries themselves acute pulmonary edema sx - extreme SOB esp when lying down, wheezing or gasping, anxiety, a cough that produces a FROTHY SPUTUM may be tinged with BLOOD, chest pain and palpitations chronic sx - SOB that worsens with lying down or physical activity, wheezing, weight gain, lower extremity swelling, and fatigue chest xray is primary other used to determine cause i.e. blood tests, electrocardiogram and echo rule out asthma, COPD, PE

secondary intention healing
healing by secondary intention permits wounds to close on their own wihtout superficial closure wound with characterisiics such as significant tissue loss or necrosis, irregular or nonviable would margins that cannot be reapproximated, infection or debris contamination typically heal by secondary intention these wounds are often associated with pathology such as diabetes, sichemi conditions, pressure damage or inflammatory disease a layer of granulation tissue will gradually fill the wound bed to the level of the surrounding skin, with closure occuring by wound CONTRACTION and scar formation wounds healing be secondary intention require ongoing wound care and have signifcantly larger scars that those helaing by primary intention (i.e. neuropathic, arterial, venous, or pressure ulcers, most full thickness wounds, and chronically inflammed wounds)
tertiary intention healing
healing by tertiary intention may also be referred to as delayed primary intension healing wonds at risk for developing complications such as sepsis or dehiscense may be temporarily left open once risk factors have been alleviated (i.e. wounds with significant edema, contamination from debris, at high risk for infection or with questionable vascular integrity) the wound is clsoed by the usual intention methods

stroke to right internal capsule, what will you see
hemiparesis of the contralateral extremities paresis of LOWER HALF of the contralateral face called supranuclear palsy which affects only the contralateral lower half of the face corticobulbar tract is the pathway that is affected which contains UMNs that project from the motor cortex to the nucleus of the facial nerve (VII) in the brainstem the muscles in the upper face are SPARED because both the right and left cerebral cortex project to the LMNs in the facial nucleus that are innervate the forehead in contrast, the LMNs that innervate the muscles of the lwoer half of the face receive input from the contralateral motor cortex only therefore, a stroke that affects the internal capsule (corticobulbar tract) prevents input from the motor cortex to the contralateral facial nucleus, causing paresis or paralysis of the muscles of the lower half of the face

high detection sensitivity with recording electrodes placed far apart over the muscle belly will detect low amplitude signals generated by a small number of motor units as in a weak extensor carpi radialis longus if the patient has poor muscle control, moving the electrodes apart can help sample a larger portioon of the muscle as the pt is able to recruit more motor units the electrodes can be moved closer together to decrease potential cross talk from other motor units therapists can get the electrodes too far apart and should limit the distance to only the area they intend to sample

hyperextension injury The MTP joint is surrounded by important structures that hold it in place and prevent it from dislocating. Together these structures are referred to as the "plantar complex." Plantar plate. This thick, fibrous tissue under the MTP joint prevents the big toe from bending too far (dorsiflexion). Collateral ligaments. Located on each side of the big toe, collateral ligaments connect the phalanx bone to the metatarsal and prevent the toe from going too far side-to-side. Flexor hallucis brevis. This tendon runs under the first metatarsal bone and attaches to the proximal phalanx. It provides strength and stability to the big toe during push-off motions. Sesamoids. These two small bones are enveloped in the flexor hallucis tendon, and help it to move more easily. In addition, the sesamoids provide stability to the MTP joint by helping to bear weight placed on the forefoot.

peripheral vascular disease GOLD
narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels causing a reduction in circulation usually secondary to atherosclerosis this can be compounded by either emboli or thrombi aka arteriosclerosis obliterans result of atherosclerosis damage can occur to the walls of both arteries and veins from fatty plaque buildup that creates hard and narrow vessels the atherosclerotic process will gradaully progress to significant or complete occlusion of medium and large arteries primary factor for developing PVD is atherosclerosis other risk factors = phlebitis, injury or surgery, autoimmunedisesae, diabetes mellitus, smoking, hyperlipidemia, inactivity, hypertension, positive family hsitory, increased age and obesity during early stages of PVD, I/M claudication may be the only manifestation sx are precipitated by walking a predictable distance and are noramally relieved by rest claudication may also present as buckling or "giving out" of the LE after a certain period of exertion other sx = tingling and numbess of the affected extremities, pain at rest and during sleep, slowed healing, changes in skin coloring, a decrease in skin temp, absence of hair on the extremity, and weak or absent pulse routine blood tests are indicated and include CBC, BUN, creatinine and electolytes doppler US are used to determine flow status MRI, angiogram, or arteriogram can also be used to assist with the diagnosis ABI rubor of dependency test transcuaneous oximetry treadmill test capillary refill also may see ischemic rest pain can occur from the combo of PVD and inadequate perfusion it is fairly common for a patient with PVD to be diagnsed with coronary artery disease or DM higher risk for complciatiosn such as DVT, thrombosis, insufficiency ulers, gangrene and amputation management = anticoag such as heparin, antiplatelet and tombolhytics pt education is PARAMOUNT reharding disease process, limb protection, foot and skin care, and risk factor reduction (smoking cessation, avoid cold exposure) walking program walk until near maximal pain then rest until pain is resolved goal is to have the patient achieve longer walking periods with less rest eventually walking 30 min continuuously nonweight bearing exercises such as swimming or stationary cycling can supplement the program after 4-6 weeks of therapy inclduing isometrics and AROM, the patient should tolerate the implementation of resistive exercise common procedures iinclude balloon angioplasty, endarterectomy, stent implantation or bypass surgery LOW CHOLESTEROL DIET for pts with pain at rest, particularly at night, the HOB should be elevated 4-6 inches which should improve their lower extremity perfusion by the effects of graity on blood flow PT is helpful in implementing a walking program that allows for the development of collateral circulation and designing an exercise program that allows the pt to gain sterngth and endurance for activities PVD can be managed and controlled through pharma, risk reduction and surgery pt with PVD are at higher risk for complications such as permanent numbess, tingling or weakness in lower extremities and or feeet, permanent sensory changes such as brugin or aching pain, hangrene and mputation also at higher risk of heart attack and stroke PVD has at least a 30% risk of death within 5 years and aprox 50% in 10 years secondary to MI or cerebrovsscualr disease similar to coronary artery disease is the narrowing or blackafge due to fatty build up withint the artery walls reducing the overall blood flow to the cardiac muscle sx include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, sob and profuse sweating electrocardiogram and angiogram used to diagnose CAD

radial artery line gets pulled what do you do as a PT
put a ****ing BP cuff on the involved extremity and inflate the cuff until the bleeding stops how stupid is that arterial bleeding needs to be stopped immediately although it is not considered a cardiac emergency you can place the cuff above the site of bleeding and inflate the cuff to above systole to stop the bleeding or place enough manual pressure on the site to stop the bleeding THEN call for help elevating the arm above the level of the heart (which is what i picked) will not be as effective bc it is an arterial bleed, as long as the heart is pumping with adequate pressure it will continue to bleed never reinsert the needle

LE lymphedema in aquatic therapy what are the benefits
reduce effusion and assist venous return, can also induce bradycardia there is a difference between hydrostatic pressure and bouyancy (bouyancy would help to provide joint unloading active movement) hydromechanics of water molecules would increase the resistance of water as speed of movement increases
ginseng
reduce the fects of anticoaga and exagera efefcts of meds such as insulein anoral antidiabtet meds
sympathomimetic
reduces airway restriction by reducing bronchospasm (B2 receptors in the bronchiole smooth muscle) mimics the effects of stimulation of body organs and structures by the symphatetic nervous system aka albuterol (ventolin) no effect on volume or consistency of airway secretions may increase BP and cause tachycardia (through adverse effect on B1 receptors) so may result in patient monitoring exercise parameters at lower exercise workloads and reducing aerobic training effects
early intervention for osgood schlatter disease
reduction of the loading by the quads but still retaining normal LE function (forecful contrations of the quads can encourage the development of this disease, ie when a catcher stands up to throw the ball to the pitcher) modalities may improve the pain but it will not improve the underlying condition (US over an epiphyses of a 10 year old is also controversial)
gangrene (dry)

gangrene wet
referred to as wt if there is an associated bacterail infection in the affected tissue may develop as a complication of an infect untreated would swelling fromt he bacterail infection causes a sudden stoppage of blood flow can devlop after a severe burn frostbite or injury and require immediate tereatment since it tends to bread very quickly and can be FATAL there is cessation of blood flow that starts a chain of events inlding invasion by bacterai at the affected site as a reslt of the occluded blood supply the hiwt blood cells are unable to flight the infection s/s = swelling and pain at the stire of infection, change in skin color from red to brown to black, blisters that pridce pus, feve an dgenral malase tx serious medical onditin that require immediate meidcal intevention surfical deridbemet of gangrena and IV antibiotics are ytpcaly inteventions depending on the severity can trate by pharma, surgery andj hyperbaric oxygen therapy
pathologic staging
refers to staging based on the pathology findings of tissue samples obtained during surgery often surgery is performed to remove a malignant mass and or nearby lymph nodes or for an exploratory assessment and tissue sample removal in some cases the patholigic stage may differ from the clinical sage (i.e. if surgery reveals that the cancer has spread more than expected in relation to clinical staging) the patholgic stage gives the health care team more prcise info which can be use dto more definitively predict treatment respones and prognsosi
clinical staging
refers to the estimated extent of malignancy present based on the findings of a pateitsn physical examination lab values, imaging adn biopsy clincial staging is a key component in derrmining a pts optimal course of tx and also estbalish a baseline for comparisin used in asssessing the response to treatment
hyperbaric oxygen
refers to the inhalation of 100% oxygen delivered at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere hyperbaric oxygen treatment is delivered in a closed chamber tupically at pressures two to 3 times that of the atmosphere, effectively reducing edema and hyperoxygenating tissues indications = osteomyelitis, diabetic wounds, crush injuries, comparmtment syndormes, nectotizing soft tissue infection, thermal burns, radiation necrosis, and compromised flaps/grafts contraindications = terminal illness, untreated penumothorax, active malignancy, pregnancy, seizure disorder, emphysema, and use of certain chemotherapy agents advantages = antibiotic effects stimulation of firboblast production and collagnen synthesis stimulation of growth factor releases and epithelialization disadvantages = specialzied equipment not widely avail cannot be used with malignancy
what happens when you abruptly stop taking beta blockers
reflexive opposite response aka increased contractility, BP and HR (normally these sympathetic responses are blocked)
lifestyle and healing
regular PA and good nutrution facilitate woudn helaing by enhancing tissue perfusion and the availability of nutrients needed to sustain cellular actiivity in contrast, smoking dramatically impedes wound helaing by limiting the blood oxygen carrying capacity the resutign wound hypoxia slows healing and creates an ideal enviornemnt for anaerobic bacteria growth, therby increasing the risk of woundinfection

hip and knee flexion contracture would produce what kind of gait compensation
short limb during stance so the opposite will have to circumduct, hip hike, and steppage gait to get the LE through swing it will also lead to a shorter stride lumbar spine extension can effectively compensate for hip flexion contractures up to 15 degrees but if it is >15 degrees which is common or there is limited lumbar extension ROM which is also common, the patient is forced to adpot a forward trunk tilt in terminal stance in order to complete the step with the knee flexed the quads have to work harder to maintain weight beraing through the flexed knee
exercise in hot environments
should be modified to include access to fluids, increased frequency/duration of rest breaks, and shorter exercise time moderate dehydration (loss of >/=6% of body weight) contruubutes to a drop in exercise performance and increases the risk of heat illness to maintain hydration, measure body weight before and after exercise and drink at least one pint (16 oz or 2 cups) of fluid for each pound of body weight lost wear clothing with a hgih wicking capacity to assit in evaporative heat loss, remove clothing and equipment to permit heat loss especially head gear s/s of heat-related illness: heat stroke - disorientation, dizziness, apathy, headache, nausea, vomiting hyperventilation, dry skin heat exhaustion - low BP, elevated HR and RR, wet and pale skin, weakness, dizziness heat syncope - decreased heart rate and RR, pale skin, weakness, vertigo, nausea heat cramps - localized muscle spasms progressing to debilitating muscle cramps

Exercise in High-Altitude Environments
the decreased atmospheric pressure at >/=5000 feet reduces the partial pressure of O2 in the air, resulting in decreased arterial oxygen levels, the immediate compensatory responses include increases in ventilation and HR and a decrease in performance acclimatization to altitude is the best prevention and treatment for altitude related illness staging or living at a moderate elevation for as long as one week before ascending to the final elevation, minimzing acitivty and maintaining hydration and good intake reduce risk and facilitate recovery, if severe s/s persist then descending to a lower altitude is effective s/s of altitude related illness: acute mountain sickness - headache, nausea, fatigue, poor appetite and sleep, mild swelling in hands, feet or face high altitude pulmonary edema - crackles/rales in the lungs, cyanosis of the lips and nail beds
adult patient requests to see PT progress notes in the medical record when working with a PTA, what do you do?
the law requires a health care provider, except in limited circumstances, to supply a patient, upon request, complete and current information the provider has about the patient's diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis the provider must also notify a patient of any test results in the provider's possession or requested by the provider for purposes of diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis

post op type II SLAP repair 1 week ago best intervention during early rehab
this lesion is characterized by a detachment of the superior labrum and the origin of the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii that results in instability of the biceps-labral anchor (this is what is reattached during surgery), therefore you should AVOID contraction and stretching of the biceps during early rehab (aka maximum protection phase) perform careful ROM of the shoulder IRs IR ROM does not create the peel back mechanism that increases stress to the repair (where as ER does) peel back mechanism = When the shoulder is placed in a position of maximal external rotation, the rotation produces a torsional force to the base of the biceps anchor. early rehab within post op precautions correlates to a quicker overall recovery and improved outcomes

when can you sub RPE for HR
when ability to monitor HR is compromised (sensory deficit) patient begin an exercise-based rehab program without a preliminary exercise test the HR response to exercise is altered (i.e. cardiac transplant) physical activity other than cardiorespiratory endurance activity are assessed clinical status or medical therapy changes ratings can be influence by physchological state, environmental conditions, mode of exercise, and age

yes the HR is well controlled and the cardiologist is aware of the arrhythmia it is okay to be in afib and do exercise as long as this is the case (HR is between 60 and 100) "it is safe to exercise a pt who is in AF" it is a concern if the patients HR is >115-120 this is the point at which diastolic filling time is decreased which places a person in AF at risk of not maintaining their CO with increased demand
high frequency airway oscillation
• *Acapella and Flutter* are handheld devices that combine *positive expiratory pressure and high frequency airway vibrations to mobilize mucus secretions in airways* place the device in mouth with lips firmly sealed around the mouthpiece • W/ device in mouth, inhale slowly to 75% full breath; hold breath 2-3 seconds; exhale through device 3-4 seconds, repeat 10-20 breaths • Remove device and perform 2-3 coughs or huffs to raise secretions • *Precautions/Contraindications:* - Patient tolerance of increased work of breathing (acute COPD or asthma) - Intracranial pressure >20mmHg - Hemodynamic instability - Recent facial, oral, skull surgery/trauma - Acute sinusitis/nosebleed - Known or suspected tympanic membrane rupture or other middle ear pathology -Untreated pneumothorax -active hemoptysis -nausea -esophageal surgery
inspiratory muscle training (IMT)
• Attempts to strengthen diaphragm and intercostal muscles • 2 main devices: Flow resistive breathing and threshold breathing -Flow resistive: pt inspires through mouthpiece and adapter w/ adjustable diameter. Decreased diameter increases resistance to breathing, provided that breathing rate, tidal volume, and inspiratory time are kept constant -Threshold loading: Requires buildup of negative pressure before flow occurs through a valve that opens at a critical pressure. Provides consistent and specific pressure for IMT, regardless of how quickly/slowly patients breath • Used for impaired inspiratory muscle strength and/or ventilatory limitation to exercise performance • Precautions/Contraindications: - Clinical signs of inspiratory muscle fatigue (in characteristic order of appearance) tachypnea, reduced tidal volume, increased PaCO2, bradypnea and decreased minute ventilation • Measure pt's max inspiratory pressure (MIP) w/ manometer. use measured MIP to calculate training load
directed cough and huffing
• Directed cough tries to compensate for patient's physical limitations to elicit a max forced exhalation • Huffing is forced expiratory maneuver performed w/ glottis open (similar to fogging a pair of glasses with your breath) although a huff does NOT produce the same airflow as a cough, the potential for airway collapse is LESS (can be reinforced with quick adduction of the arms to self compress the chest wall) • Cough: inhale maximally, close glottic and hold breath for 2-3 seconds; contract expiratory muscles to produce increased intrathoracic pressure against glottis; cough sharply 2-3 times through slightly open mouth • Post-surgical pt may need to splint chest or abdomen by applying pressure over incision w/ a pillow or blanket roll • Huff: inhale deeply though open mouth; contract abs during a rapid exhalation w/ glottis open saying "ha, ha, ha" • Precautions/Contraindications: - Inability to control possible transmission of infection by droplets • Elevated intracranial pressure or known intracranial aneurysm • Reduced coronary artery perfusion ( e.g. acute myocardial infarction) • Acute, unstable head/neck/spine injury •Untreated pneumothorax • Osteoporosis • Flail chest (Flail chest is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when a segment of the rib cage breaks due to trauma and becomes detached from the rest of the chest wall) • Acute abdominal pathology, abdominal aortic aneurysm, hiatal hernia, pregnancy

Which substance facilitates endothelial vasodilation? insulin epinephrine caffeine nitric oxide
Correct Answer: nitric oxide Nitric oxide is a potent endothelial vasodilator. Nitric oxide promotes smooth muscle relaxation, however, atherosclerosis may interfere with the availability of nitric oxide and therefore result in a decreased vasodilation of the coronary arteries.

Salter-Harris Fracture
Supracondylar humeral epiphyseal fracture Most common pediatric elbow fracture FOOSH with extended elbow Type 1 - non displaced fracture across the growth plate Type 2 - angulated and displaced across the growth plate and continuing up through the shaft of the bone Type 3 - may be displaced in three directions (posteromedial which is most common, posterolateral, or anterolateral), starts through growth plate but turns and exits through the end of the bone and into the adjacent joint Type 4 - fracture though all three elements of the bone: the growth plate, metaphysis and epiphysis, start above the growth plate, cross the growth plate and exit through the joint cartilage, these injuries can affect the joint cartilage and may impair normal growth, complete retardation or partial growth arrest may result in progressive limb length discrepancies, complete growth arrest is uncommon and depends on when the injury to the physis occurs in relation to the remaining skeletal growth potential, the younger the patient the greater is the potential for problems associated with growth, premature partial growth arrest is far more common and can appear as peripheral or central closures

ankle brachial index ABI
aka the ankle-arm index compares systolic blood pressure at the ankle and arm to check for peripheral artery disease procedure - sustolic blood pressures are measured in both brachial arteries and both tibialis posterior arteries with a sphygomanometer and a handheld doppler US device ABI is calcualted by diving the higher of the two systolic blood pressure measurements in the ankles by the higher of the two systolic blood pressure measurements at the arms >1.3 indicates rigid arteries and the need for an US test to check for PAD (Values above 1.4 suggest a noncompressible calcified vessel. In diabetic or elderly patients, the limb vessels may be fibrotic or calcified. In this case, the vessel may be resistant to collapse by the blood pressure cuff, and a signal may be heard at high cuff pressures. The persistence of a signal at a high pressure in these individuals results in an artifactually elevated blood pressure value.) REALLY BAD 1.0 - 1.3 normal; no blockage 0.8 - 0.99 mild blockage, beginnings of PAD 0.4 - 0.79 moderate blockage; may be associated with I/M claudication during exercise <0.4 severe blockage suggesting severe PAD, may have claudication at rest REALLY BAD

hydrocolloids
gel forming polymers (i.e. carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, pectin) backed by a strong film or foam adhesive dressing does not attach to the wound itself but instead anchors to the intact surrounding skin the dressings absorb exudate by swelling into a gel like mass and vary in permaeability, thickness,, and transparentcy indications = hydrocolloids are usedful for partial thickness and full thickness wounds, the dressing can be used effectively with granular and necrotic wounds advantages = provides a moist environment for wound healing enables autolytic debridement offers protection from microbial contamination provides MODERATE ABSORPTION does not require a secondary dressing provides a waterproof surface disadv = may traumatize surrounding intact skin upon removal may tend to roll in areas of excessive friction CANNOT BE USED ON INFECTED WOUNDS
diabetes testing
generally performd ont wo different occasional to confirm a dianosis of DM fsting plasma glucose at lesat 8 hours after a pts last intake of foot or drink (+ if >125) normal is <100 oral glucose tolerance testing occurs 2 hours after ingestion of a sugary drink (+ if >200 or greater) normal is <140 a1c testing based on the attachment of glucose to hemoglobin that meausres to pts average blood glucose ove the apst 2-3 months (+ for DM if A1c is 6.5% or greater), noral is <5.7% dx may also be made if a pt has classif ss of DM i.e. plyppipsia polyuria along with a causl random glucose test of 200 or geater casual glucose testing can be perfrmd at any time of day without regard to food or drink intake
procedure for exercise testing
generally, the patient is required to exercise at progressively greater increments of work by varyiing the speed and grade of the treadmill or the speed and resistance to pedaling an upper extremity or cycle ergometer HR, BP, ECG, RPE and s/s are monitored before during and after the test
using the threshold inspiratory muscle trainer
have the patient place the mouthpeice in his or her mouth and inhale with enough force to open the valve adjust the spring tension by turning the control knot to adjust the pressure indicator to the prescribed setting device is marked every 2 cm h2o, the higher the setting the greater the effort needed begin training with the setting that elicits 30% to 40% of the patients MIP the patient breathes against that resistance at resting respiratory rate and tidal volume for 5-15 minutes, 2-3x a day, as tolerated resistance can be increased in small increments by adjusting the tension on the spring until the training load reaches to to 60% of MIP over a four to six week period expected outcomes... increase inspiratory muscle strength and endurance decrease dyspnea at rest and during exercise increase functional exercise capacity
decreased errors and overall endurance what should you do next
have the patient practice walking in varying environments this is the assoicative stage of learning some trial and error learning is the goal
primary intention healing
healing by primary intention most commonly occurs in acute wounds with minimal tissue loss smooth clean edges are REAPPROXIMATED and closed wuth sutures, staples or adhesives to facilitate re-epithelialization superficial partial thickness wounds such as abraisions or blisters, also heal by intention with epithelial migration over the wound bed frequently completed within 72 hours wounds heal by promary intention typically have minimal scarring and heal quickly in an uncomplicated and orderly progression (i.e. surgical incision, laceration, puncture, and superficial and parital thickness wounds)

what temperature water would cause increased CV demands at rest and with exercise
hot water immersion >35 degrees celcius (aka more than 95 degrees F) When your body gets superheated: Your blood vessels dilate to try to help cool off the body. Blood diverts to the skin, away from the body core. Heart rate and pulse increase to counteract a drop in blood pressure. Normally, these events don't cause problems. However, if you have existing cardiovascular disease, the cascade of events could overtax your heart. This can lead to: Loss of adequate blood pressure, if your heart can't pump enough blood Increased blood pressure, if you have blood vessel disease or narrowing and hardening of the arteries Dizziness or feelings of faintness Nausea Abnormal heart rhythms Inadequate blood flow to the heart or body Heart attack
most appropriate functional goal for a 5 ear old child with a high lumbar lesion (myelomeningocele L2 level) and minimal cognitive involvement
household ambulation with a reciprocating gait orthosis RGO and lofstrand crutches child will not be a community ambulator bc of the high energy expenditure RGO is the best choice (over KAFO) because the hips are joined by metal cables that prevent inadvertent hip flexion (which would probably happen with KAFOs) during a reciprocal two or four point gait (low lumbar was the question before in the test that said they could be indepedent commuity ambulators as a primary means of functinal mobility)

too much insulin is also know as what
insulin reaction type 1 - insulin reaction caused by too much medication or too little food aka if you miss a meal and you have regular insulin, the insulin will be unopposed, or when you workout bc the body uses the glucose and then insulin is again unopposed type 2 - don't respond to insulin as well as they should and later in the disease often don't make enough insulin, i guess an insulin reaction can still happen bc they can still become hypoglycemia but it wouldnt be because of medication, it would be because of a missed meal (brain cannot store glucose so first to see effects)

rinnes test
used to compare bone conduction BC with airconduction AC if BC is greater than AC, the patient is experiencing conductive deafness if AC is greater than BC the patient is experiencing sensorineural deafness If the patient is not able to hear the tuning fork after it is moved from the mastoid to the pinna, it means that their bone conduction is greater than their air conduction. This indicates there is something inhibiting the passage of sound waves from the ear canal, through the middle ear apparatus and into the cochlea (i.e., there is a conductive hearing loss). In sensorineural hearing loss the ability to sense the tuning fork by both bone and air conduction is equally diminished, implying they will hear the tuning fork by air conduction after they can no longer hear it through bone conduction. This pattern is the same to what is found in people with normal hearing, but patients with sensorineural hearing loss will indicate that the sound has stopped much earlier. This can be revealed by the person administering the test (with normal hearing) placing the fork close to their own ear after the patient indicates that the sound has subsided, noting that the sound from the fork is still noticeable to a normal ear.

maturation phase
7 days to 2 years aka remodeling phase initated when granulation tissue and epithelial differentiation begin to appear in the wound bed as the maturation phase progresses, mechanisms of fiber reorganization and contraction shrink and thin the scar an immature scar will appear red, raised, and rigid while a mature scar will appear pale, flat, and pliable scar tissue is remodeled and strengthened through the process of collagen lysis and synthesis newly repaired tissue have approx 15% of preinjury tensile integrity and should be protected to prevent reinjury over time, the tensile integrity may increase to as much as 80% of preinjury strength hypertrophic scarring, esp in relation to burn injuries, can significantly impact maturation phase progression**** a burn without hypertrophic scarring will typically mature within 4 to 8 weeks but burns with hypertrophic scarring may require up to 2 years to reach maturity
what condition is not likely to show up on xray
A chest radiograph, or chest x-ray, can be used to visualize the shape, size, and location of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, ribs, and bones of the spine. While it can visualize some blood vessels, an x-ray would not provide the level of detail needed to diagnose atherosclerosis within the coronary arteries. Chest x-rays can reveal fluid in the lungs or pleural space, pneumonia, emphysema, and cancer.
pt presents with T10 paraplegia, no evidence to back this up even with tests, neurologist determines that pt has functional neurologic disorder, what is the best intervention
A functional neurological disorder (FND) is a condition in which patients experience neurological symptoms such as weakness, movement disorders, sensory symptoms and blackouts. The brain of a patient with functional neurological symptom disorder is structurally normal, but functions incorrectly. "initiate functional training consistent with the level of injury" FND aka conversion disorder, represents a real loss of function for the patient, the sx are real and varied may be triggered by stress, psychological, or physical trauma PT should treat this pt the same as any pt with a SCI early intervention is crucial do not wait for psych couseling do not use FES to prove to pt that the msucles work (this is called confrontation and it is contraindicated) do not discuss the possible cause for the paralysis with the patient

You are covering an ill coworker what do you do if you can't find the patients notes in the medical record
Briefly examine the patient and intervene appropriately If you accept an individual for PT services then it is your responsibility to examine, eval, and intervene. At least a systems review and brief plan of care should be formulated before intervening. Not appropriate to ask the patient, call the coworker (because they might not have access at home), or ask other coworkers to see if they can access the patients notes because they are not involved with the patients care

Emotional dysregulation
Lack of awareness, understanding, or acceptance of emotions; inability to control the intensity or duration of emotions; unwillingness to experience emotional distress as an aspect of pursuing goals; and inability to engage in goal-directed behaviors when experiencing distress.
Clicking with TMJ
Mandible can open partway without clicking because the condyle is able to push the dislocated disc in front of it until the ligaments become taut The chin deviates mike explained in the above notecard Then further opening requires the affected side to jump over the back end of the dislocated disc and onto its thin center, causing a click or pop. It occurs near wide opening because it doesn't occur until the ligaments attached to the backs of the disc become taut The closing click is softer and occurs when the jaw is more nearly closed because the disc doesn't re-dislocate until the condyle reach the depth of the socket where the disc can no longer fit In later stages of forward disc dislocation, the disc usually stops going back into place during mouth opening and the mandible cannot open past the point where it used to click

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce the production of acid in the wall of the stomach (that produces acid) thereby preventing ulcers and assists in the healing of ulcers that exist on the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. ... Examples of proton pump inhibitors approved in the U.S. include: aspirin and omeprazole (Yosprala)
supine to sit test
Purpose: To assess the contribution of the sacroiliac joint to an apparent leg length discrepancy. Test Position: Supine. Performing the Test: The examiner grasps the patient's legs above the ankles and fully flexes them, then extends them. The examiner then compares the two medial malleoli to see if a difference in position is present. Have the patient sit up, while keeping the legs extended. Compare the position of the medial malleoli again to see if there is a change. If there is a posterior innominate, the leg that appeared shorter will lengthen with the sit up. If there is an anterior innominate, the leg that appeared longer will shorten with the sit up. true leg length vs SI contribution

Which abnormal heart sound is associated with congestive heart failure?
S1 and S2 are normal heart sounds. S3 heard in early diastole, is associated with congestive heart failure. S3 is typically softer than S1 and S2 and is easier heard with the bell of the stethoscope. S3 is also known as ventricular gallop.
S4 why
S1 and S2 are normal heart sounds. S4 heard in late diastole is associated with myocardial infarction or hypertension. S4 is the result of an abnormally forceful contraction of the left atrium to overcome resistance caused by stiffness in the left ventricle. S4 is also known as atrial gallop

FLUTTER device
The flutter is a simple and small device shaped like a pipe that creates a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and high frequency oscillation as expired air passes through it. These vibrations and PEP are thought to mobilise airway secretions facilitating their clearance and improving airflow.
mean venous pressure
The mean venous pressure throughout the venous vasculature is approximately 2 mm Hg. This pressure is highest distally and lowest proximally at the junction of the vena cava and right atrium.
HRmax =

boyles law
The pressure within the lungs is reduced during inspiration in accordance with Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a given quantity of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
scab
The term "scab" is used when a crust has formed by coagulation of blood or exudate. Scabs are found on superficial or partial-thickness wounds. Scab is the rusty brown, dry crust that forms over any injured surface on skin, within 24 hours of injury. Whenever our skin is injured due to any cut or abrasion, it starts bleeding due to blood flowing from the severed vessels. This blood containing platelets, fibrin and blood cells, soon clots to prevent further blood loss. The outer surface of this blood clot, dries up (dehydrates) to form a rusty brown crust, called a scab, which covers the underlying healing tissues like a cap. The purpose of a scab is to prevent further dehydration of the healing skin underneath, to protect it from infections, and to prevent any entry of contaminants from the external environment. Scabs generally remain firmly in place until the skin underneath has been repaired and new skin cells have appeared, after which it naturally falls off.

In patients with congestive heart failure, prolonged use of Lasix may lead to: thiamine deficiency vitamin C deficiency renal disease anemia
Correct Answer: thiamine deficiency Prolonged use of Lasix has been shown to cause thiamine deficiency in patients with congestive heart failure. Thiamine deficiency is particularly concerning in this patient population because levels of thiamine correlate to the force of myocardial contraction and cardiac performance in general.

congestive heart failure GOLD
occurs when the heart can no longer meet the metabolic demands of the body, the hearts inability to pump a sufficient amount of blood occurs when there is insufficient or defective cardiac FILLING and/or impaired CONTRACTION/EMPTYING of the heart the impairment in CO causes the body to compensate for this deficit and this results in an increase in blood volume (retain fluid), cardiac filling pressure, HR and cardiac muscle mass CHF is not an independent disease process but rather a symptom of pathology within the heart muscle itself or in the cardiac valves injury can be L or R or both the abnormal retention of fluids and diminished blood flow causes further stress and injury to the cardiac system common etiologies include arrhythmia (a fib), pulmonary embolism, hypertension, valvular disease, myocarditits, unstable angina, renal failure, medication induced problems, high salt intake and severe anemia CHF occurs when there is a DECREASE in CO, abnormalities in the skeletal muscle metabolism, impaired left ventricular function or all of the above clinical presentation = initially show signs of tachycardia, other signs include venous congestion, high catecholamine levels, and finally impaired CO Catecholamines are a group of similar hormones released into the bloodstream in response to physical or emotional stress. The primary catecholamines are dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine. as the severity of CHF increases, signs of venous congestion usually become apparent left sided HF is generally associated with signs of pulmonary venous congestion and right is associated iwith systemic venous congestion impairment to either ventricle can affect the other, leading to both systemic and pulmonary edema, nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, S3 gallop, dry, cough, exertional dyspnea with low level exercise, sudden weight gain, possible cyanotic extremities, cardiac hypertrophy, and shortness of breath labs = urinalysis, CBC count that includes electrolyte, thyroid stimulating hormone, blood urea nitrogen BUN, and serum creatinine levels chest xray, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram are also recommended a doppler ECHOCARDIOGRAM can determine systolic and diastolic performance and cardiac output (ejection fraction), and pulmonary artery and ventricular filling pressure framingham classification system for CHF (two major or one major/one minor) new york heart association functional capacity classification also classifies heart disease based on symptomology as it relates to physical therapy what else might you find with CHF? left ventricular infarction, aortic or mitral valve disease, and hypertension create pulmonary congestion that may result in left sided CHF over time however, fluid accumulation spreads and ankle edema, congestive hepatomegaly, ascites and pleural effusion occur which leads the patient to develop right sided CHF as well management = treated based on the root cause of the heart failure diuretics, nitrates, analgesics and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor agents DIGITALIS TOXICITY is something to be aware of referred to PT for generaized conditioning and mobility walking is commonly used to initiate an exercise program with cardiac patients pts can progress their overall endurance following their won heart rate and percieved exertion guidelines nutrition!!! non salt and no alcohol!! likley outcome = can live with CHF and should benefit from physical therapy in order to improve endurance and strength after a decline in function from hospitalization or bed rest PT will improve skeltal muscle function, blood flow, metabolic capacity, and overall exercise tolerance PT however will NOT CURE CHF or its cause common disorder, 4.6 million americans 500,000 new cases each year prevalence increased signifiacntly with age 1-2% 50-59 up to 10% in persons older than 75 despite the hearts compensatory mechanisms the ability of the heart to contract and relax progressively worsens and eventually fails medial survival of 3.2 years for males and 5.4 years for females after diagnosis similar to cor pulmonale which is a form of right sided heart falure but normally seen as a consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease sustained hypoxia produces an increase in pulmonary artery pressure that leads to right ventricular hypertrophy and finally right sided heart failure when the right side fails the left side does not recieve adequate amounts of blood and then cannot sustain a normal CO this is not congestive in nature, however, as there is no fluid buildup within the lungs THIS right sided heart failure also does not present with an audible S3 gallop systolic HF - cant pump (S3) compliant left ventricle diastolic HF - cant fill (S4) noncompliant left ventricle
myocardial infarction GOLD
occurs when there is poor coronary artery perfusion, ischemia, and subsequent necrosis of the cardiac tissue usually due to thrombus, arterial blockage or atherosclerosis MI produces ischemia and subsequent necrosis to a portion of the myocardium the extent of damage to the myocardium is dependent on the duration of ischemia and on the thickness of the tissue involved a transmural MI involved the full thickness of the myocardium whil a nonthansmural MI involves the subendocardial area (inner third of the myocardium) the myocardium has 3 zones that form concentric cicrcles around the point of infaarct termed zones of infarct - zone of infarct zone of hypoxic injury zone of ischemia thrombosis of the ANTERIOR DESCENDING branch of the LEFT coronary artery is the most common location of infarct and affects the LEFT ventricle a right coronary artery thrombosis can result in an infarct of the posteroinferior portion of the left ventricle and can affect the right venricular myocardium primary risk factors of MI include patient or family history of heart disease, smoking, physical inactivity, stress, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, DM, and obesity the use of cocaine and aortic stenosis may also cause an MI it has been documented that an MI will occur more frequently in the morning hours and during the november to december holiday season occurs in 1.5 million individuals each year within the US mortality rate of 50,000 approx 2/3 of patients experience prodromal sx days to weeks before the event, including unstable angina, shortness of breath and fatigue a patient that is experiencing an MI will initially present with deep pain or pressure in the substernal area the may may or may not radiate to the jaw and down the left arm or to the back the patient cannot alleviate the pain with rest or nutroglycerin and the pain may lase for hours the patient is usually anxious, pale, sweating, fatigued, and may present with nausea and vomiting sx of MI frequently do not follow a typical pattern esp in females there are also instances of a silent MI where the sx are noted primary tool to detect MI is a 12 lead electrocardiogram INVERTED T WAVE indicates myocardial ischemia ELEVATED ST SEGMENT indicates acute infarction DEPRESSED ST SEGMENT indicates a pending subendocardial or transmural infarction blood serum analysis can be utilized to dettermine the level of selected cardiac enzymes CREATINE PHOSPHOKINASE (CPK) ASPARTATE TRANSFERASE (AST) LACTIC DEHYDROGENASE (LDH) can all be dramatically altered during and after an MI CBC, chest radiograph, nadionucline imaging, and amylase level may be ordered to assist with dx ASSESS MUSCLE PERFORMANCE THROUGH ACTIVE MOVEMENT ONLY, NO MMT BC OF POTENTIAL FOR VALSAVA barthel index patient status post MI is at risk for complications that include arrhythmias, hypotension, pericarditis, impaired cardiac output, pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, pericarditis, cardiogenic shock, recurrent infarction and sudden deeath arrhythmias occur in 90% of patients post MI and are caused by ischemia, ANS impairment, electrolyte, conduction defects, and other chemical imbalances most effective management = initial medical management is to stabilize the patient and initate pharma intervention to hinder the evoluation of the MI anticoag, beta blockers, thrombolytic agents, angiotensi-converting enzyme inhibtors, vasodilators, and estrogen (in women) may be used once stable the pt is managed through cardiac rehab surgery may include = angioplasty, stenting, endarterectomy, and bypass grafting exercise testing is performed within 3 days of the MI in order to establish baseline guidelines for patients that are cleraed to exercise and do not exhibit any arrhythmias or angina likely outcome of PT goal is to resume all ADLs and recreational pursuits may be able to return to all previous activities after successful completion of a cardiac rehav program a patient must contnue to reduce the modifiable risk facors and maintain an appropriate level of exercise in order to limit a possible subsequent MI similar to angina pectoris which is a myocardial ischemic disorder that occurs when there is an oxygen defciits to the coronary arteries coronary artery disease accounts for 90% of cases of angina angina is classified as stable, post infarct, Prinzmetals, resting, unstable, nocturnal or variant sx often occur during exertion and include chest pain that may radiate rest or nitroglyercin normally provides relief of the sx treatment of the underling cause is essential to prevnt further damage to the heart
