Post-surgery, early mobilization, chest physiotherapy, and incentive spirometry help rehabilitate respiratory function and prevent clinically significant PPCs.
4. Physiotherapeutic approach of management in mechanically ventilated patient.ShagufaAmber
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the most common interventions in the intensive care unit (ICU). Physical therapy includes early mobilisation to improve functional outcomes. Physical therapy interventions include passive movements of the extremities for deeply sedated patients, in-bed and out-of-bed mobility, active or passive cycling ,neuromuscular electrical stimulation and ambulation.Chest physiotherapy facilitates removal of retained or profuse airway secretions aiming to reduce airway resistance, optimize lung compliance, and decrease the work of breathing. Multimodality respiratory physiotherapy appeared to reduce mortality in ICU patients.
A treatment intervention employs positioning, chest percussion, vibration, and manual hyperinflation to mobilize secretions in the lungs and assist in their expulsion. It is used prophylactically for high-risk surgery patients and those unable to cough effectively, and therapeutically for conditions like atelectasis and retained secretions. The techniques aim to prevent accumulation and improve drainage of secretions while promoting relaxed breathing.
This document discusses the role of physiotherapy in treating severe pediatric respiratory disease. It notes that while physiotherapy is commonly used to clear secretions in critically ill children, the evidence for its effectiveness is poor. Physiotherapy can cause significant physiological disturbances and potential harm. It may be beneficial in specific conditions like cystic fibrosis if secretions are significantly impacting lung function, but is not routinely indicated for ventilated children or those with conditions like bronchiolitis. A detailed individual assessment is required to determine if potential benefits outweigh risks for a given child. More high-quality research is still needed to establish best practices around physiotherapy in pediatric critical care.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive intervention for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. It includes exercise training, education, breathing exercises, and nutritional counseling. The goals are to improve physical and psychological health and promote long-term management of the respiratory condition. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs typically last 6-12 weeks with two or three supervised sessions per week. A multidisciplinary team provides personalized treatment that matches the severity of lung involvement. Exercise is individually prescribed according to testing and progressively increased. Pulmonary rehabilitation provides benefits like reduced symptoms, improved quality of life and exercise capacity.
1. Supratentorial surgeries require careful anesthetic management to maintain adequate cerebral perfusion and oxygenation while optimizing conditions for tumor resection.
2. Key goals include preventing increases in intracranial pressure through careful induction, positioning, ventilation, and emergence from anesthesia.
3. Emergence should be smooth to avoid straining or bucking which can abruptly increase intracranial pressure and risk hemorrhage or herniation.
Laparoscopic surgery involves inserting specialized tubes into the abdominal cavity to perform minimally invasive surgery. Carbon dioxide gas is used to insufflate the abdomen and create pneumoperitoneum. This causes physiological changes including increased heart rate and blood pressure due to hypercapnia and raised intra-abdominal pressure. It can also decrease lung volumes and compliance. The anesthesiologist must carefully manage ventilation and monitor for potential complications like subcutaneous emphysema, capnothorax, and venous gas embolism during laparoscopic surgery. Patient positioning, temperature control, and multimodal postoperative pain management are also important considerations for the anesthesiologist.
Cardiopulmonary physical therapy (CPPT) in the intensive care unit (ICU) focuses on preventing and treating respiratory complications through non-invasive interventions. Physiotherapists in the ICU must have expertise in cardio-pulmonary and multi-system physiology to properly diagnose and treat patients.

2) Strategies are presented for managing airways complicated by issues like brain injury, cardiovascular problems, respiratory disease, liver or kidney failure, sepsis, and more.
3) The document recommends techniques like rapid sequence intubation, awake intubation, double setup approaches, and having specialized equipment and drugs available to manage difficult airways. Optimizing patient physiology is key to reducing risks of intubation.
- Laparoscopic surgery utilizes carbon dioxide insufflation to create space in the abdomen for visualization, but this causes various physiological effects.
- General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is the standard to allow ventilatory control and protect the airway during positioning.
- Potential complications include hemodynamic issues, pulmonary complications from gas absorption or positioning, and injuries related to surgical instrumentation or patient positioning. Close communication with the surgeon is important if complications occur to potentially reduce intra-abdominal pressure or convert to an open procedure.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivers mechanical ventilation without intubation by using techniques like CPAP and bi-level positive airway pressure. It can treat acute respiratory failure by improving ventilation and oxygenation. The main advantages are avoiding intubation complications while allowing speech and swallowing. Indications include pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and COPD/asthma exacerbations. Settings are tailored to the condition. NIV is contraindicated in altered mental states or inability to protect airways. Close monitoring is needed and treatment may need to be switched to intubation if not improving the patient.
The document discusses postoperative care and chest complications. It covers several key points:
1) Respiratory complications occur in up to 15% of major surgeries and can negatively impact outcomes through increased mortality, morbidity, hospitalization duration, and costs.
2) Patients face respiratory risks in the immediate postoperative period from issues like atelectasis, pulmonary edema, and respiratory failure due to changes in lung volumes and function.
3) Preventing postoperative pulmonary complications requires evaluating patient risk factors, optimizing pre- and postoperative pulmonary status through measures like smoking cessation, treating infections, and encouraging deep breathing exercises.

Managing respiratory symptoms in advanced MSMS Trust
This document discusses managing respiratory symptoms in advanced multiple sclerosis (MS). It summarizes research showing pulmonary dysfunction correlates with disability level in MS. For patients with normal lung function, expiratory muscle strength may still be reduced. Lung volume recruitment (LVR) and mechanical in-exsufflation (MI-E) are presented as techniques that can help preserve lung function and clear secretions by improving peak cough flow. The combination of LVR and manually assisted coughing is shown to be most effective. Case studies demonstrate MI-E and tracheostomy with ventilation can prevent hospital admissions and be life-saving for some advanced MS patients.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

HFCWO increases airflow velocity, which creates repetitive
cough-like shear forces and decreases the viscosity of
secretions.
Therapy is usually performed in 30-minute sessions at varying
oscillatory frequencies ( 5–25 Hz ). Depending on need,
one to six therapy sessions may occur per day.
