Official Title: Effect of Trans-cutenuous Electrical Diaphragmatic Stimulation on Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation
Brief Summary:
Respiratory muscle dysfunction is a common consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).This technique consists of placing electrodes on the skin at locations near the motor points of the diaphragm, transmitting an intermittent current, and generating action potentials capable of producing muscle contractions
