COPD TBL
Foundations of Osteopathic Medicine Ch. 59
Question | Answer |
---|---|
First goal in a patient presenting with dyspnea | Stablize both respiratory and hemodynamics |
Initial workup for dyspnea includes | Chest xray, EKG, arterial blood gas, complete blood count and differential, serum electrolytes, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen |
Differential for dyspnea | COPD, Brochiectasis, Pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, congestive heart failure |
COPD xray and blood results | Hyperinflation of the lungs and increased leukocytosis |
Work of breathing | The definable amount of energy required to produce a negative intrathoracic pressure |
Hyperinflation of the lungs places the muscles at risk of | Fatigue |
Compliance | Ease with which tissues are stretched during inhalation |
Recoil | The elastic ability of the lung parenchyma to passively contract during exhalation (affected by parenchyma) |
Total thoracic compliance includes | Lung tissue and chest wall |
Emphysema | When adjacent alveoli sacs coalesce forming larger tertiary spaces, resulting in less area available for gas exchange |
Muscle hypertropy can alter the biomechanics and cause | Somatic dysfunction |
Respiratory dysfunction leads to | Reduces compliance of the bony thorax, alters respiratory biomechanics and increases work of breathing |
Lung disease often presents with Somatic dysfunction in the | Thoracic spine and ribs |
Reducing the work of breathing during exercise has been shown to | Improve exercise tolerance of chronic lung patients |
Improving thoracic compliance will reduce respiratory muscle workload and may decrease the likelihood of | Fatigue in both acute and chronic lung disease conditions |
Barrel chest does what to respiratory muscles? | Prevents muscles during inspiration from returning to their full resting length during exhalation |
Muscles receive most of their blood during | Their resting or diastolic phase |
Increasing tone during contraction leads to | Increased pressure within the muscle which shunts blood away from arterioles |
Muscles operating on anaerobic respiration are how many times less productive | 15 times |
Increased muscle tone can be identified on a physical exam by | Increased muscle tone, tenderness or bogginess |
OMT in respiratory disease is aimed at | Increasing length and decreasing resting tone |
Restoration of the length and vertical orientation of the diaphragm is known as | Doming the diaphragm |
Low pressure circulatory system | Gradients maintained by the cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar and pelvic diaphragms that aid in fluid movement through the venous and lymphatic systems |
The thoracic duct empties into the | Junction of the internal jugular and brachiocephalic vein |
35-60% of the thoracic duct drainage is in response to | Respiratory movements |
All initial lymphatics have anchoring filaments and will therefor respond significantly to | Respiratory movements to the degree at which they occur in the area |
Restoring a greater excursion of the thorax will improve the body's ability to move | Lymph, which leads to an increase in local drainage, and increase in delivery of antigen and an increased transport of antibiotics |
Cranial nerve involved with bronchospasm and mucous production | Vagus |
Vagal reflex somatic dysfunction is found most often in | C2, occiupitomastoid suture, or cranial base |
Sensory ganglion of the vagus nerve is located | Within the jugular foramen adjacent to the occipitomastoid suture |
Significant treatment areas for asthma patients | Right T4-5 and right 4th/5th ribs |
Pneumonia is often accompanied by (Somatic dysfunction) | A local reduction in rib excursion (leading to barrel chest) |
Barrel chest is most likely due to the innervation in the | Parietal pleura |
Bronchitis somatic dysfunction and innervation | T1-T5, Sympathetic innervation |
Malnutrition common in COPD | Protein/Caloric |
Shortness of breath and cost of medication can lead to high | Stress |
Most important behavioral change in COPD | Stop smoking |
First target of OMT in respiratory patients | Ribs, thoracic spine and diaphragm to reduce mechanical restrictions |
Second target of OMG in respiratory patients | Autonomic nervous system, start with indirect and go to direct |
Follow-up time for OMT in respiratory patients | 1-4 months |
