Talking All Things Cardiopulm

Who would benefit from a breathing assessment? Is it just patients in the hospital setting? Is it just patients with lung disease? 

The answer is an overwhelming no. Breathing is for everyone. Even high-level athletes can benefit from a breathing assessment and definitely breathing interventions.  What you will find may surprise you…

Tune into this episode to discuss the breathing mechanics of a soon-to-be D1 athlete.

Hypertension (HTN) is known as the silent killer because of its silent damage over years and years, leading to the number one cause of death coronary artery disease.  We know lifestyle change has significant effect on preventing and decreasing HTN, but pharmacologic management is typically the primary driver.

 So what if there was another tool that could help decrease blood pressure in a non-pharmacologic way?  What if we incorporate a breathing technique that will not only help BP control but also have other great physiologic improvements at the same time?

In this episode:

• Mechanics of diaphragmatic breathing
• Defining RMT
• Benefits of diaphragmatic breathing on the heart
• Discuss the role of respiratory metaboreflex
• Discuss the role of the baroreflex
• Discuss Sympathetic and Parasympathetic input on the heart

Are you new to acute care, maybe a student ready to approach their first acute care rotation or maybe just an OG PT that wants to corroborate this story?

Post-op rehab can be very affected by the type of anesthesia that is used. The best way to deal with this as a PT is to understand the potential outcomes or common trends.  The more you know, the better you will be able to anticipate what will/could happen aka look like you’re carrying a crystal ball.

Join me in this episode as we discuss common side effects of general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia and epidurals in the acute care setting and how it may affect your POD#0 or POD#1 evaluation.

Are you familiar with the RPE scale? Do you have a preference on the 6-20 or 0-10 scale? Have you utilized this scale in your practice or teaching? Me too! And yes I 100% have a preference. 

But did you know that this scale has been around since the 1960s and was created by Dr. Gunnar Borg and later updated with his daughter? Have you ever checked the original reference of the Borg scale you use? Is it in color? What words are assigned to the numbers? What instructions are given for use?

If you’re curious, join me in this episode while you watch me actively synthesize the rabbit hole I jumped in and more importantly learn the intent behind these well-validated scales!

 In this episode:

• Evolution of the Borg RPE scale
• The intent behind the 6-20 RPE scale and CR-10 scale
• Discuss instructions for each scale
• Importance of utilizing the original scale

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias you may see in practice.  It can be both safe to work with and dangerous.  Therefore, it’s important to understand the rhythm at its base and the concerns that exist with this rhythm.

Let’s break down a-fib at its core, identify its main characteristics on EKG, common symptoms, as well as, acute and long terms concerns. As a physical therapist, you may be the first person to identify this rhythm and you may have to make judgment calls about safety. We will differentiate safety with controlled vs uncontrolled rates, as well as, rapid ventricular rates.

In this episode:

•               Atrial fibrillation EKG characteristics
•               Signs and symptoms of afib
•               Differentiating between controlled vs uncontrolled vs RVR
•               Safety with exercise with uncontrolled rates
•               Using your clinical judgement

Have you ever made dough from scratch? If you have, you know it’s all about the long game and a ton of patience.  This is not a hobby that you can practice quickly, nor a skill you can rush through. It takes time to get it right and it takes patience to work through it.

Patience is not always an easy skill to master, especially if you feel short of breath, but it is a necessary skill to conquer to prevent the perpetual cycle of panic and recovery. In the world of pulmonary disease, patients don’t always have the privilege of reserves and typically rush to complete the task. Unfortunately, this response only leads to a further cycle of panic, tank, and recover. How can we help them through this? How can we change the cycle to help them go further, for longer?

Tune in for a dose of patience and pacing.
