Physiotherapy – Respiratory Conditions

A large proportion of the workload of an acute hospital is the management and treatment of respiratory diseases, especially in the winter when people start catching colds and flu. Examples of the diagnoses which present are bronchitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, asthma, hyperventilation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Physiotherapists receive comprehensive respiratory training in their undergraduate and early postgraduate years so they can assess and treat a wide spectrum of presenting conditions. Respiratory assessment skills need careful teaching and regular practice under supervision, often made more difficult by the acutely sick patient status, and the physio has an important role in managing these sick patients.

The patient's notes and observation charts are first reviewed by the physiotherapist before going to see the patient, so as to be clear about the medical diagnosis, opinion and treatment. The blood test results will be important and the physiotherapist should have a good understanding of these. The physiotherapist will introduce themselves to the patient and whilst questioning the patient about their illness will be observing their condition at the same time, looking for the rate of respiration, hand, nose and lip colour, oxygen or nebuliser treatments, the overall wellness of the patient, their weight, the effort of breathing they are making and if they are using arm and neck muscles to help breathing.

The observation gives the physiotherapist a lot of information very quickly about the patient's condition and what they need to concentrate on in the examination. They can then move on to the objective examination, starting with assessing the lung expansion and air entry. By holding the chest on both sides, the physiotherapist can assess how well the expansion is occurring and whether it is symmetrical. Auscultation, listening to the chest with a stethoscope, tells the examiner about how well the air is entering the lungs, whether there is a blockage, collapse, consolidation or wheeze. The results of this will determine any further examination and the type of treatments suggested.

The physiotherapist initially looks at the patient's oxygen concentration as the correct level is critical for the patient's respiratory and overall status. If the blood oxygen saturations are below normal then the doctors will prescribe oxygen at a specific percentage such as 24 percent or 28 percent via a venturi type administration device which maintains a constant oxygen concentration as variations in concentration would be damaging. Continuous gas delivery can dry the airways and the secretions, making treatments more difficult, so oxygen should always be administered humidified and heated to body temperature by the appropriate gas delivery circuit.

The physiotherapist will then move on to the efficiency of air entry into the lung peripheral airways, as the airways can become blocked by sputum from infections or may collapse down. This compromises air entry and reduces the patient's ability to maintain blood oxygen levels. Breathing exercises are taught initially by the physiotherapist to attempt clearance and re-inflation of the collapsed airways and if that is not successful then IPPB (Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing) can be used. IPPB uses a machine to force air at a controlled volume into the patient's lungs at a greater volume than they can do themselves.

Retention of sputum in the airways is a common problem with infections which occur when someone is ill or unable to breathe deeply and normally, for example when they are lying down in hospital for some time. The physiotherapist can practice the active cycle of breathing with the patient, getting them to make small breaths then huff out, gradually increasing the depth of inspiration until the huff is quite long, at which time sputum is often ready to be coughed up. With practice a patient can become very skilled at easing sputum from the peripheral airways without increasing airway spasm until it's ready to be expectorated.

Other techniques physiotherapists use to remove secretions are clapping and vibrations which are manual techniques applied to the patient's chest and which vibrate the airways to loosen secretions and encourage coughing. A flutter device, which vibrates the air as it enters the lungs, can also be used to achieve the same ends. Patients with surgical incisions can be shown how to support the wound whilst coughing, and physiotherapists make sure adequate analgesia is provided to control pain.

Venturi Effect $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe. The Venturi effect is named after Giovanni Battista Venturi, (17461822), an Italian physicist.The fluid velocity must increase through the constriction to satisfy the equation of continuity, while its pressure must decrease due to conservation of energy: the gain in kinetic energy is balanced by a drop in pressure or a pressure gradient force. An equation for the drop in pressure due to the Venturi effect may be derived from a combination of Bernoullis principle and the equation of continuity.

Venturi Flume $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A venturi flume is a criticalflow open flume with a constricted flow which causes a drop in the hydraulic grade line, creating a critical depth. It is used in flow measurement of very large flow rates, usually given in millions of cubic units. A venturi meter would normally measure in millimetres, whereas a venturi flume measures in metres. For measurement of discharge with venturi flumes two measurements, one upstream and one at the throat (narrowest crosssection), are required, if the flow passes in a subcritical state through the flume.

Venturi Atlantique $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Venturi Atlantique was a midengined, fiberglassbodied French sports car produced by Venturi Automobiles from 1991 to 2000.The original 260 was a revised version of the Venturi APC 260, carrying over the 2.8L turbocharged V6 engine with 260 hp (194 kW; 264 PS), but with a reduced weight of 1,110 kg (2,400 lb). It was good for a top speed of 167 miles per hour (269 km/h) and accelerated from 060 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 5.2 seconds.Scotsman Hubert ONeill purchased Venturi in 1994 and conceived of the Venturi 400GT as well as a revised Atlantique. After a rushed design time of six months, the new Atlantique 300 was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. Its new 3.0 24V V6 engine was lifted from other Peugeot/Citroen models and was good for 210 hp (157 kW; 213 PS) in naturallyaspirated form or 281 hp (210 kW; 285 PS) with a turbocharger.
