Treat fascia/tissues, SD, and viscero-somatic reflexes for residual pain
- At this stage OMT enhances analgesia, reduces complications, aids recovery, and may decrease hospital length of stay

Tx of renal failure
Front
Tx underlying cause (may include OMT)
Tx complications that come until pt recovers
- iv fluids
- meds to control K+
- meds to restore blood Ca++
- dialysis
Back
Symptoms of Kidney stones
Front
Severe colicky flank pain with radiation into the groin
Back
Tx of interstitial cystitis painful bladder syndrome
1. OMT to thoracic inlet and diaphragms to diminish lymphatic congestion
2. Localized, end-organ targeted lymphatic techniques
3. Lymphatic pump techniques
Goals Improve O2/nutritions & reduce risk of infection, healing time, fibrosis and scarring
Back
Goals of OMT of a hospitalized pt
Front
- Promote homeostasis & pt's ability to cope with disease process
- Sleep, ambulation, eating, defecation, pain relief
- Treat dysfunction that impede homeostatic processes instead of long-standing and unrelated problems since it takes pt energy to incorporate changes
Back
Signs & Symptoms of interstitial cystitis painful bladder syndrome
Front
- Pain in pelvis or between vagina/anus in women
- Pain between scrotum & anus in men
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Persistent and urgent need to urinate
- Frequent urination in small amounts
- Pain or discomfort while bladder fills that is relieved upon urination
- Pain with sex
More common in women

Contraindications of OMT on surgical pts
Front
- Direct manipulation over surgical site
- Ab. plexus inhibition if midline abdominal incision or aortic aneurysm
- Sigmoid release if left hemicolectomy
- Mesenteric release if anterior abdominal incisions
- Rib raising if fracture or recent spine surgery
- pedal pump if DVT, LE fractures, or recent abdominal surgery
- Lymph tx if osseous fx, bacterial infectiosn with large fever, local infection, some cancers

How does the kidney change with age?
Front
- Decreased GFR
- Number of nephrons is reduced
- Creatinine Clearance declines
- This inhibits the ability to clear drugs leading to more likelihood of drug toxicity
Back
Tx for cystitis
Front
Abx therapy
Increased fluid intake
OMT as tolerated
can progress to pyelonephritis if not treated
Back
Tx approaches for hospitalized pts
Front
1. pt is evaluated and OSE findings interpreted in relation to principle and understanding of the pt's disease process
2. Tx plan is developed to address the dysfunction in such a way as to improve the function of the pt's underlying physiology
3. Choice of technique is based on the effect desired and the condition of the pt

Types of incontinence
Front
- Stress incontinence
- Urge (sudden urge then involuntary loss of urine)
- Overflow (dribbling from bladder not emptying fully)
- Functional (physical or mental impairment)
- Mixed
Back
Dx of interstitial cystitis painful bladder syndrome
Front
- bladder diary, pelvic exam, UA w/ cytology, cytoscopy with biopsy, K+ sensitivity test
Back
symptoms of cystitis
Front
Dysuria, hematuria, frequency, urgency, fever, lower Ab pain
Back
Issues with OMT in hospitalized pts
Front
- Privacy
- Modesty
- Turn off TV
- Objects in the way
- Surgical incisions and dressings
- Decubitus ulcers
Back
Order of tx for a hospitalized pt
Front
1. Tx facilitated areas first
- Neurons in facilitated segments have decreased AP and fire of easily
- Frequent tx is needed due to facilitated segments being messed up due to the acute visceral process
Back
What OMT aspects should you assess to give you clues toward a differential diagnosis?
- Temporary from substances that stimulate bladder or increase urine volume like alcohol or heart meds
- Persistent due to physical problem (prego, cancer, neuro issues)
Back
What is Nephrolithiasis
Front
Kidney stones
one of the most common disorders of the GUT
Back
Focused OMT for diuresis stage (4-6 days) of post-op
Front
Focus on lymphatic, GI, renal, and ANS systems
Back
What are the components of a pre-op structural exam?
- UA looking for blood, crystals, or signs of infection
- Use CT w/o contrast
- Pee through strainer to collect and analyze stones
stones are usually calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate
Back
Which nerve is responsible for referred pain to the groin in a pt with kidney stones?
Front
Genitofemoral

Indication for OMT approach to Tx
Front
SD either primary or secondary to viscerosomatic reflex related to disease

Aggressive Hydration & dietary modification
- Minimal 2 L water/day
- Avoid strictly vegetarian diets
- Avoid excessive animal protein, salt, vitamin C/D, or soft drink consumption
- Consume phytate rich foods such as bran, legumes, beans, and wild rice
Back
Contraindications for OMT approach to Tx
Front
- Pt unable to tolerate OMT secondary to pain or positioning
- If it delays more definitive care
- Concerns about airway with anesthesia (optimize C-spine)
- OMT to reduce mid-cervical SD (c3-5) to help decrease post-op pulmonary complications (diaphragm)
- Presence of SD before surgery may be a complication factor
Back
Focused OMT for inflammatory stage (1-3 days) of post-op
