what is immobility? inability to move freely and independently
at will
Describe how immobility is a not very many patients are completely
continuum. immobile
but almost all have some degree of
immobility
What increases the effects of the increase in the number of risk factors
immobility? such as
diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
respiratory
problems, or if the person has multiple
traumas
what are nursing interventions maintaining or regaining mobility and
designed for? preventing or
minimizing complications of immobility
what increases a person's risk of the degree of immobility and length of time
complications? of
immobilization
,what makes our patients temporary: post operative recovery,
immobile? pregnant and
on bed rest
permanent: skeletal/neurological damage;
someone with a spinal cord injury
acute: injury or accident
chronic: skeletal/neurological deficit
what does prolonged almost every organ system
immobilization
affect?
what is stasis? a greek word for "standing still"
sluggish or lack of movement
venostasis; homeostasis
,what are some examples of stasis pulmonary system: decreased ventilation
in leads to
the body? atelectasis which can cause pneumonia
cardiovascular system: if someone has
venous
stasis or insufficiency it will be very difficult
for the
blood to return to the heart from the legs
urinary/GI tract system: forms of stasis
include
people that have risk factors for recurring
UTIs or
someone with gastroparesis
tissues: patients can have stasis dermatitis
and
ulcers
musculoskeletal system: muscle atrophy
and joint
contractures
what does it mean that humans vertical; requiring regular weight-bearing
are activities
bipedal?
how does immobility affect the depressed respiratory function and
respiratory system? increased risk
of complications
, how does immobility limit chest when you are lying down the abdominal
expansion? contents
can impede the lung space, so when you
stand
gravity can help pull the mediastinal and
abdominal contents down which allows for
more
expansion of the lungs and for greater lung
volumes
what happens when chest ventilation is decreased which can lead to
expansion atelectasis, and in turn cause pneumonia
is limited due to immobility?
how does immobility cause the lungs become weak from no exercise
atrophy narcotics and sedatives can also cause
of the muscular function of the this
respiratory system? ie fentanyl can cause chest wall rigidity
how does immobility cause a decrease in position changes, decreased
decreased cough response and effective
stasis of the pulmonary cough, dehydration, or hypoventilation
secretions?
how does immobility cause perfusion is best at the base of the lungs
alteration immobility causes stasis
in the pulmonary perfusion? you can have local venous stasis which
can lead to
a pulmonary embolism
