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 |
