    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1993; 65(3):23-5. PubMed ID: 8059375.
    Abstract:
    A study was made of the effect of transcutaneous diaphragmatic electrostimulation (DES) on the external respiratory function (ERF) and central hemodynamics (CH) in 36 asthmatic patients. The ERF and CH were examined by microprocessor spiroanalyzers and rheography. DES (2 mA, 0.3 ms, 20-30 v, frequency 13-17 imp/min) was performed for 7 days, 20 minutes daily. The improvement in respiratory function parameters and a positive clinical effect were achieved in the majority of patients, especially in asthmatic patients with respiratory insufficiency. The parameters of CH did not noticeably changed.
