- 1What is a compression deviceapplication of external mechanic or non mechanical pressure
- 2Name 5 reasons compression devices are used1. edema
2. venous circulation and healing ulcers
3. stump reduction
4. treatment of lymphedema
5. wound healing - 3name 4 contraindications for compression1. acute hemorrhage
2. Congestive heart failure
3. acute fracture
4. kidney dysfunction - 4What is the lymphatic system- a parrell circuit to the circulatory system
-assists with the removal of fluid and waste products from the environment
-blocks infection (lymph nodes)
- maintains homeostasis - 5Name the major components that make up the lymphatic system1. lymph nodes
2. thymus
3. bone marrow
4. spleen - 6Why is blood pressure something that should be monitored while using compression devices- it affects fluid in the interstitial space
- if BP is higher the in interstitial space then flood moves from vessels into the space
- if pressure is exerted outside the interstitial space than fluid cannot escape - 7what is EDEMA?- well localized condition where the body contains excessive amount of fluid in the interstitial space
- 8name 3 factors that disrupt normal fluid exchange:1. pitting, pooling edema in lower extremities
2. change in capillary permeability
3. change in tissue temperature - 9Name 2 factors that disrupt normal fluid exchange1. tissue injury
2. obstruction of lymphatic system - 10Define Traction- ability to pull apart jointsurfaces and elongate soft tissue
- 11name the 4 different ways traction is applied1. mechanical
2. postion
3. manual
4. continuous - 12what are the 5 physiological effects of traction1. joint distraction
2. reduction of disc protrusion
3. soft tissue stretching
4. muscle relaxation
5. joint mobilization
