Ebook e-bok Clinical Management Notes and Case Histories in Cardiopulmonary Physical Theraphy
Section 1, Cardiopulmonary Assessment and Management, outlines major techniques in a brief, evidencebased manner. Interactive questions and problems are provided to reinforce basic concepts. Cardiopulmonary
Assessment topics include: clinical decision making, chart review and interview, physical examination, interpretation of lab tests, chest radiology, pulmonary function testing, mobility and exercise testing; and EKG interpretation. Cardiopulmonary Management topics include adult and patient education; breathing exercises; positioning; mobilization and exercise training; airway clearance techniques; oxygen therapy; mechanical ventilation; and an overview of pulmonary, cardiac, and surgical management.
Section 2, Case Histories, contains well-developed cases of typical presentations of pulmonary (9 cases), cardiac conditions (6 cases), and combined presentations (4 cases). Four of the cases relate to outpatient scenarios
and 3 others relate to a home program or functional activity post-discharge. Each case has a history followed by
several components with questions to help learners develop a therapeutic approach of deriving salient assessment factors and determining a treatment approach. Components of the case histories include some of the following: histories, descriptions and/or pictures of the physical presentation, arterial blood gas values, chest x-rays,
EKG tracings, and pulmonary function reports. These cases provide a broad spectrum of examples for the learner to practice and reinforce basic information about assessment and management skills.
Section 3, Answer Guides, provides detailed information related to questions posed in the chapters on cardiopulmonary assessment and management and to questions posed in the case histories. In some cases, the
answer guides provide information beyond what is required at entry level.
Section 4, Appendices, provides an overview of some of the difficulties faced by clinicians when reviewing
the literature to determine best clinical practice. The appendices contain several critical reviews of the literature on areas of practice that either are contentious or have no well-established clinical guidelines.
