Study Notes

Pulmonary Rehabilitation (Chest P.T.)

  • Chest physical therapy (CPT) is a practice area focusing on evaluating and treating patients with acute and chronic lung disorders.
  • It's a crucial part of comprehensive respiratory care, involving both curative and preventative measures.

Respiratory System

  • The respiratory system encompasses organs and structures enabling breathing.
  • It includes the nose, mouth, lungs, and airways (tubules connecting them), along with supportive muscles and blood vessels.
  • Ribs protect the respiratory system.
  • The combined action facilitates oxygen intake and carbon dioxide release.

Respiratory System Functions

  • Warming and humidifying inhaled air to match body temperature and humidity levels.
  • Protecting the body from inhaled particles, germs, and irritants.
  • Enabling speech through vocal cord vibrations.
  • Allowing the sense of smell by moving air molecules to the olfactory nerve.
  • Maintaining the body's acid-base balance by regulating carbon dioxide levels.

Pulmonary Ventilation

  • Breathing, or pulmonary ventilation, involves air movement into and out of the respiratory system.
  • A healthy adult typically breathes approximately 16 times per minute, exchanging about 500 milliliters of air with the atmosphere per breath.
  • Muscular actions and differences in atmospheric and intrapulmonary air pressure drive this airflow exchange.
  • Gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) are exchanged through inhalation and exhalation.
  • Oxygen is drawn into the lungs from the atmosphere during inhalation.
  • Blood circulates this oxygen throughout the body, using it and generating carbon dioxide, a waste product.
  • Blood carries the carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation.

Lung Diseases Overview

  • Lung diseases are prevalent; smoking, infections, and genetics are major contributing factors.
  • Lung diseases affect the delicate mechanics of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, resulting in various problems and symptoms.
  • Lung diseases are categorized into different types affecting different aspects of the lungs.
  • Various lung diseases and related conditions can exist.

Types of Lung Diseases

  • Diseases affecting the Airways (bronchi) like Asthma, COPD, Bronchitis, Cystic Fibrosis.
  • Diseases affecting the air sacs (alveoli) like Emphysema.
  • Diseases affecting the interstitium (lung tissue) like Pulmonary fibrosis, Sarcoidosis.
  • Diseases affecting the blood vessels like Pulmonary embolism, Pulmonary hypertension.
  • Diseases affecting the pleura like Pleural effusion, Pneumothorax, Mesothelioma.
  • Diseases affecting the chest wall like Obesity hypoventilation syndrome, Neuromuscular disorders.

Methods of Treatment

  • Breathing exercises
  • Positioning techniques
  • Postural drainage
  • Autogenic drainage, PEP, Flutter, Acapella
  • High frequency chest wall oscillations
  • Assistive coughing
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Stretching positions
  • Endurance exercise
  • Electrotherapeutic modalities

Pulmonary Therapy Methods to Reach Specific Goals

  • Methods to increase ventilation and oxygenation (using breathing exercises, positioning, and devices to assist or resist breathing).
  • Methods to reduce oxygen consumption (reducing overall work demands, especially respiratory work).
  • Methods to improve secretion clearance (postural drainage, cough techniques, and airway clearance techniques).
  • Methods to increase exercise tolerance (endurance exercises).
  • Methods to reduce pain (pain-relieving therapies).

Specific Breathing Techniques:

  • Nose breathing: Involves breathing through the nose, with advantages like filtering, warming, and humidifying the air.

  • Diaphragmatic breathing (relaxed and resisted): Focuses on the diaphragm's role in breathing with both relaxed and resisted breathing exercises.

  • Pursed lip breathing: Involves exhaling slowly and completely through pursed lips, which helps regulate breathing rate and open airways, particularly useful in COPD and asthma.

  • Segmental breathing: Includes specific breathing exercises targeting different parts of the lungs like apical, lateral, posterior basal, and sternal breathing.

  • Buteyko Breathing Technique (BBT): A technique to normalize CO2 levels and reduce hyperventilation.

  • Specific indications and procedures exist for each type of breathing exercise.

Precautions for Breathing Exercises

  • Avoid forcing exhalation and prolonging it.
  • Avoid using accessory muscles for inhalation.
  • Limit deep breathing cycles to prevent hyperventilation.

Lung Volumes and Compliance

  • Key terms and measurements defining lung volume and capability are explained.

General Clinical Problems (Patient with Pulmonary Disorders)

  • Problems like impaired ventilation/oxygenation, increased work of breathing, increased oxygen consumption, decreased exercise tolerance, impaired cough mechanism, impaired airway clearance, musculoskeletal dysfunction, and pain.

Treatment Goals

  • Improve ventilation and oxygenation
  • Reduce work of breathing
  • Decrease oxygen consumption
  • Improve respiratory muscle strength, endurance, and coordination
  • Improve endurance and exercise tolerance
  • Improve airway clearance
  • Prevent airway obstruction and secretion accumulation
  • Maintain or improve chest mobility
  • Improve cough effectiveness
  • Prevent pulmonary impairment
  • Correct postural deformities
  • Promote physical and mental relaxation
  • Decrease pain
  • Teaching the patient to deal with shortness of breath attacks
  • Improve patient functional capacity
  • Improve quality of life for patients.
