CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY 01-09-2023 88
Definition Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic intervention applied to help natural airway clearance mechanisms (cough and ciliary cleansing mechanisms) reduce or prevent blockage of airways by thick, tenacious mucus 01-09-2023 89
Purposes/Indication • Assist in coughing • Reeducate breathing muscles • Improve ventilation of the lungs 01-09-2023 90
Contraindications • Increased ICP • Unstable head or neck injury • Active haemorrhage or heamoptysis • Recent spinal injury • Rib fracture • Uncontrolled hypertension • Thoracic surgeries 01-09-2023 91
Articles Needed Tilt bed and/or pillows Towels or thick pad Sputum cup/tissue Stethoscope 01-09-2023 92
Types of CPT The procedure of chest physiotherapy includes the following types, 1. Percussion 2. Chest Vibration 3. Deep breathing Exercises 4. Postural drainage 5. Coughing 01-09-2023 93
Preprocedure care • Identify physical indications for CPT. • Identify possible contraindications for CPT. • Determine child's age, developmental level, ability to understand procedure, and ability to cooperate. • Assess diversional activities child might enjoy during CPT. • Determine parent's under-standing of and ability to perform CPT at home. • Assess ability of older child to do self-physiotherapy 01-09-2023 94
Percussion/tapotment/clapping/cupping • Therapist and parents should wash hands before treatment. • Administer bronchodilators as ordered before CPT. • Select areas of lungs to be percussed. • Treatments may be split up into sections and performed at various times throughout the day 01-09-2023 95
• Assist person in assuming proper positioning, placing pillows for comfort, support and to maintain position. • Perform percussion using cupped hands. Clap rhythmically over specific area to be drained. Mold hands side by side. 01-09-2023 96
Alternate hands while clapping. Clapping should be vigorous, not painful. Percuss 1 minute over lung segment to be drained. 01-09-2023 97
Procedure 1. Check the right patient 2. Explain the procedure to the patient 3. Check the last meal that he has consume 4. Wash hands and dry 5. Inform the patient to perform diaphragmatic breathing 6. Position the patient 01-09-2023 98
Percussion 1. clap with cupped hands over the chest wall for over 1-2 min in each lung area 2. the percussion should be from lower ribs to shoulder on the back and from lower ribs to top of the chest in the front 3. Avoid percussion on spine, liver , kidney, spleen, breast and clavicle. 01-09-2023 99
01-09-2023 100
01-09-2023 101
Vibration 1. place hand /palm down on chest area to be drained with one hand over the other or fingers together. 2. Patient should inhale and exhale slowly through pursed lips 3. Vibrate for 5 exhalations in each lungs after 3-4 vibrations encourage patient to cough and clear the secretion 01-09-2023 102
Post Procedure 1. Allow patient to rest 2. Auscultate and check the breath sound 3. Repeat cycle for 10-15 minutes based on patient condition 4. Wash hands 5. Comfort the patient 01-09-2023 103
Special Considerations 1. CPT should be perform 1 hour before meals and 1-3 hours after meal 2. Administer bronchodilator and MDI 15 minutes earlier 3. Check breathing pattern and cyanosis in him 4. Administer pain killers 15-20 minutes before 5. Stop procedure if there is tachycardia/fall in BP/chest pain 01-09-2023 104
Postural Drainage Also called as bronchial drainage, an intervention for airway clearance by mobilizing secretions in one or more lung segments to the central airway by placing the patient in various positions. 01-09-2023 105

4. Provide bronchodilators or Nebulizer 5. The PD can be scheduled 3-4 times a day based on degree of lung congesion 6. Time is before breakfast/lunch and bed time 01-09-2023 110
Care of Chest Drainage 01-09-2023 111
01-09-2023 112
01-09-2023 113 • Parietal pleura: Inside membrane of the rib cage • Pulmonary or visceral pleura: Outside membrane of the lungs • The two membranes are separated by a lubricating fluid (pleural fluid) which enables them to slide against each other. Lung can expand and contract • Vacuum or “negative pressure” in the pleural space keeps the two pleurae together. If fluid or air enters the pleural space, lungs cannot fully expand during each respiratory cycle
Chest TUBE Placement
Normal Breathing Mechanics Diaphragm contracts down & draws air into the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Negative pressure between the pleurae is approximately -8cmH2O Diaphragm relaxes, rises, and pushes air & CO2 back out the same route. Negative pressure between the pleurae is approximately - 4cmH2O INHALATION EXHALATION
01-09-2023 116 • Pneumothorax: Air in the pleural space (trauma, lung disease, procedure complications) • Hemothorax: blood in the pleural space (blunt or penetrating trauma) • Hemopneumothorax: air & Blood in the pleural space • Tension pneumothorax: occurs when injured tissue forms a one way valve or flap allowing air to enter but preventing it from escaping naturally, (emergent situation)
Indications For Chest Tube Insertion •Pleural effusion: excessive fluid in pleural space •Empyema: collection of pus d/t infection •Chylothorax: lymphatic fluid accumulation in the pleural space (trauma, expanding tumor, surg in the mediastinum) – milky white pleural fluid 01-09-2023 117
Insertion Site Superior Tube Placement: Removal of Air (ie. Pneumothorax) Inferior Tube Placement: Removal of Fluids (ie. Hemothorax, Empyema) Posterior Tube Placement: Loculated (confined pocket) fluid or air
Insertion Site “Safe Triangle” Tube placed in the midaxillary line btw 4th and 5th Ribs should successfully drain fluid or vent air

Nursing Assessments and Interventions
Assessment USE THE ACRONYM S = Site T = Tubing O = Output P = Patency
STOP S = Site Check Site: • Ensure tube is in place, • No S&S of infection • Dressing CDI, change q48h & PRN wet or soiled. Sterile technique, occlusive dressing  Subcutaneous emphysema
Subcutaneous Emphysema (Air Underneath the Skin) Subcutaneous emphysema (air trapped under skin) a. Palpate – Crepitis (Rice Krispies) b. Notify MD c. Continuous Monitoring
Check the Dressing & Site
sTOP T = Tubing  Connections are secured  No dependent loops, kinks  Straighten periodically  Keep the drainage system below patient’s level
STOP O = Output  Document amount, type and color  Check the level regularly  Document in Epic – LDA  Use the white write-on column on the drainage chamber to mark drainage include date & time (Check with your unit to see how often)
STOP P = Patency (A: water seal)  Assess the water seal with the suction off  If water seal level is too high, it will be more difficult for air to leave the chest (aspirate water via grommet)  If the water seal level is too low, it leaves the water seal chamber at risk for exposure to air and can cause a pneumothorax (add sterile water via grommet)
STOP P = Patency (B: Bubbling) Bubbling means there is a leak in the system unless the patient has a pneumothorax. • Intermittent bubbling may indicate air leak from pleural space, will resolve when lung re-expands • Continuous bubbling suspect a leak in the system
STOP P = Patency (C: fluctuations)  Normal:  Inspiration the water seal level will reach -10cm  Expiration the water seal level will reach -4cm of negative pressure normally  If fluctuations stop, the tubing may be obstructed (kinks, pt lying on tubing, stuck in railing, etc.)  If more than 2cm of water the drainage will decrease  If less than 2cm of water there is risk of pneumothorax
Assess pulmonary status • Respiration Rate • Work of Breathing • Breath Sounds • Continuous SpO2 Monitoring
At the bedside • Always keep drain BELOW the chest for gravity drainage • Creates a pressure gradient with relatively higher pressure in the chest • Fluid moves from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure
At the bedside – Emergency actions Dislodged tube from pt. • Cover open insertion site with Vaseline gauze at peak inspiration • Cover with 4x4’s gauze & tape three sides only • Notify M.D. STAT • chart event Dislodged from collection device • place the end of the tube into bottle of sterile water to create a one way valve. • Prepare new drainage device and connect to pt tubing
Items to be kept at bedside • 2 clamps • Vaseline gauze • 4x4 gauze dressing • Non-porous tape • Sterile water bottle or NS
Clamping Clamp Only When  Changing the device (the drainage system)  Checking for an air leak  Tubing is disconnected and sterile water is out of reach  Checking lung re-expansion prior to chest tube removal DO NOT Clamp  Ambulating Patient (will increase risk of tension pneumothorax)  Transport – Disconnect suction tubing at Suction Control Stop cock, leave open
Chest Tube removal INDICATIONS: • Improved respiratory status • Symmetrical rise and fall of chest • Bilateral Breath Sounds • Decreased chest tube drainage • Absence of bubbling in the water seal chamber during inspiration • Improved CXR findings
Chest Tube removal Process: • Premedicate to relieve pain • Teach valsalva maneuver (preformed before tube removal to prevent air from reentering pleural space) • Supplies: sterile gloves, goggles, gown, mask, dressing supplies, sterile suture removal kit, wide occlusive tape.
• Semi-Fowlers position • Practitioner clamps chest tube, pt peforms Valsalva maneuver, chest tube removed • Occlusive dressing applied • Post CT removal CXR – ensure lung remains fully inflated 01-09-2023 141
Pulse Oximetry Pulse Oximeter is used to measure the level of oxygen saturation in the body that shows the amount of oxygen that hemoglobin is carrying in the blood 01-09-2023 142
Normal oxygen saturation in adult is 95%-100% 01-09-2023 143

Editor's Notes

  • #115 In short, The chest tube is placed in the Pleural space between lungs and chest wall.
  • #116 Under Normal Conditions the pleural space has Negative pressure to allow the lungs to expand and contract. When a condition arises in which there is positive pressure in the peural space, a chest drain may be required.
  • #119 So, when you think gravity, the heavier things are going to be found on the bottom where as air will have a tendency to float upwards.
  • #120 Safe Triangle: an area lateral to the nipple line bordered by the latissimus dorsi, the lateral border of the pectoralis major, and the apex of the triangle below the axilla
  • #122 The concept of the 3 bottle system is what brought about the water seal chest drain system that we currently use today.
  • #128 Subcutaneous Emphysema: arises as pleural space air leaks into subcutaneous tissue, when this happens tissues of the neck, face, and chest wall swell. Notify MD because tube placement or suction level may be evaluated.
  • #129 Check the dressing, Change every 48 hours and when needed if soiled or coming loose. At the site, check for s/s of infection (redness, drainage from the site)
  • #141 Post CT removal: Monitor- Resp status, vital signs, Site for drainage, pt’s comfort level
