    Abstract:
    The study compared the effect of conventional therapy of aggravated chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB), inpatient oxygen treatment of large duration (OT), normobaric hypoxic stimulation (NBHS), inspiratory resistance on the diaphragmatic muscle function in COB patients with chronic pulmonary insufficiency. The function was assessed at stimulation electromyography of the diaphragm. The latter reflected enhanced bioelectric activity of the diaphragm in response to OT and inspiratory resistive training as shown by increased time parameters. Conventional COB treatment induced no changes in the myographic picture. Long-term response to NBHS needs further investigations.
