Study Notes
Functional Level Assessment
- Presented by Dr. Eman Rashad, lecturer at Horus University in Egypt.
- Her qualifications include a PhD, MSc, CMP, CMTP, CSMT, KCMT, and CLT.
- Assessment includes lung volume and capacities, arterial blood gases, and pulse oximetry.
Lung Volume and Capacities
- Lung volumes and capacities relate to a person's age, weight, sex, and body position.
- Disease can affect lung volumes and capacities.
- Volumes combined are described as capacities.
- Understanding measurements and their values is crucial for therapists treating pulmonary dysfunction.
- Diagrams and explanations for specific volumes (IRV, TV, ERV, RV, IC, VC, TLC, FRC) are shown in the presentation.
Spirometry
- Spirometry measures how quickly and how much air a person breathes out.
- A technician monitors and encourages the patient during the test.
- The machine records spirometry test results.
- A technician takes a deep breath and exhales as hard as possible into a tube.
Pulmonary Function Tests
- Non-invasive tests demonstrating lung function.
- Measure lung volume and capacity.
- Healthcare providers use this information to diagnose and decide upon treatments for lung conditions.
- Predicted values rely on factors like age, sex, height, and race.
Results Classification
- Results are categorized into normal, obstructive, restrictive, and combined.
Pulse Oximetry
- A noninvasive technique measuring oxygen saturation (SpO2).
- The SpO2 reading might not perfectly mirror the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2).
- It's vital in monitoring a person's oxygen saturation, often used for patients with potential oxygen-related difficulties.
- The presentation features images of different pulse oximeters (desktop, finger, wrist).
- The oximeter passes specific light wavelengths through the patient's finger.
- Oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin have distinct light absorption patterns.
Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs)
- ABGs provide insight into ventilation, gas exchange, and acid-base status.
- A sample is drawn from an artery and analyzed with an ABG analyzer.
- The line is usually inserted into the radial or femoral artery.
- It helps assess patient type (hypoxemia or hypercapnia).
ABG Definitions
- pH: Measures blood's acidity/alkalinity.
- PaCO2: Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (acidic component).
- HCO3: Bicarbonate ion concentration (basic/alkaline component).
- Base Excess: Required strong acid/base to return pH to normal.
PaO2
- Partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood.
- Reflects oxygen movement from lungs to blood.
- Reflects dissolved oxygen in the blood; shows how well the lungs function in oxygen transfer.
- Elevated PaO2 indicates increased oxygen levels in inhaled air.
- Normal range is 80-100 mmHg.
- Low levels necessitate supplemental oxygen.
PaCO2
- High PaCO2 indicates inadequate alveolar ventilation (hypoventilation).
- Low PaCO2 signifies hyperventilation.
Acid-Base Imbalances (Respiratory Acidosis & Alkalosis, Metabolic Acidosis & Alkalosis)
- Presented in detail with causes, symptoms, and compensatory mechanisms.
Problems and Solutions
- Different patient scenarios (problems), illustrating how to interpret ABG results (solutions) to diagnose conditions like respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, and others.
