Respiratory changes due to immobility   decr lung expansion, stasis of secretions, lead to atelectasis (collapse of alveoli), hypostatic pneumonia  
🗑
Metabolic changes b/c of immobility   BMR decr, decr ability to produce insulin or metabolize glucose, negative nitrogen balance (breakdown of protein)  
🗑
Fluid/electrolyte changes   Diuresis(incr. urine excretion), affects CA levels leads to hypercalcemia(release of CA in circulation)  
🗑
Gastro changes   risk for constipation  
🗑
Cardio changes   Orthostatic hypotension, incr workload, need O2, incr resting HR 4-15 bpm, risk for DVT, peripheral edema
