Study Notes
Oxygen Consumption and Cardiac Transplants
- Oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold is significantly lower in individuals with cardiac transplants compared to healthy individuals.
- This reduction is partly due to skeletal muscle weakness.
Vagal Stimulation
- Vagal stimulation leads to a decrease in heart rate (HR).
- Loss of vagal tone typically results in an increased HR.
Breathing Exercises
- Various breathing techniques have benefits for patients with cystic fibrosis, though their efficacy remains unproven.
- Breathing exercises may not offer additional benefits post-surgery compared to early mobilization.
- Incentive spirometry is comparable in effectiveness and cost to deep breathing and coughing instruction.
- Diaphragmatic and lateral costal expansion exercises are common in postoperative care.
- Inspiratory muscle training is beneficial for weaning patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Stroke Volume and Cardiac Mechanics
- Stroke volume (SV) increases with increased preload, per Frank-Starling law.
- SV is directly proportional to preload, indicating a relationship between ventricular filling and stroke volume.
Blood Pressure and Mean Arterial Pressure
- Mean arterial pressure for a reading of 150/90 is 100 mm Hg.
- Understanding the cardiac conduction system:
- The sequence is Sinoatrial Node (SAN) → Atrioventricular Node (AVN) → Bundle of His → Purkinje Fibers → Ventricles.
Anatomical Points on Lower Limb Arteries
- The femoral artery supplies the lower limb, entering the thigh and descending vertically.
- The anterior and posterior tibial arteries supply the respective compartments of the leg.
Postoperative Care Following Cardiac Transplantation
- Oral diet may begin as soon as the patient tolerates it.
- Most patients wean off mechanical ventilation within 24-36 hours.
- Heart rate post-transplant is typically maintained around 110 beats per minute initially.
Myocardial Ischemia and Infarction
- Angina pectoris pain arises from an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand.
- Factors leading to coronary occlusions cannot be controlled just by resolving thrombus formation.
- Venous compliance allows blood volume shifts significantly affect thoracic venous blood volume during standing.
Pulmonary Blood Flow
- Blood flow is greatest at the base of the lungs due to gravity.
Rehabilitation After Lung Transplant
- Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on ROM exercises, pain control, and effective coughing techniques.
- Huff coughing with glottis closure is not recommended; glottis opening helps with mucus clearance.
Congestive Heart Failure Statements
- The brachiocephalic trunk branches into the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery, not the left subclavian artery.
Carbon Dioxide Levels
- Hypocapnia indicates a decreased level of CO2 in the blood.
- Hypercapnia signifies increased CO2 levels.
Dyspnea and Cardiac Dysfunction
- Dyspnea may be linked to hypertension or aortic valve disease but typically coincides with hypertension, not hypotension.
ECG Waves and Cardiac Activity
- Atrial depolarization is represented by the P wave on an ECG.
- The QRS complex reflects ventricular depolarization, while T waves show ventricular repolarization.
Crutch-Walking Gait Selection
- A four-point gait is recommended for patients unable to support full weight due to muscle weakness or coordination issues.
Pressure Ulcer Risk Factors
- Risk factors for pressure ulcers include anemia, muscle atrophy, and impaired nutritional status, excluding smoking and substance abuse.
Burn Assessment in Patients
- Considerations for estimating burn percentage include the affected anatomical regions, particularly when evaluating burns on the face.
