As shown in a trial in 172 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis suffering from respiratory trouble, chronic cor pulmonale, circulatory insufficiency, combined application of electrical stimulation of the diaphragm with ultrasonic inhalations is much more effective than separate use of these two modalities which, when used together, potentiate positive and abate side effects of each other. The method is simple in application, reduces the duration of the hospital stay, prevents incapacitation.
