ABSTRACT
Electrostimulators of synocarotid nerves (SCN) were implanted in 30 patients aged from 18 to 62 years for the treatment of bronchial asthma. The procedures of SCN stimulation (from 1 to 10 daily) were carried out with parameters of 30-100 Hz, 0.1-0.8 ms, 0.5-2.0 V. The external respiration function was examined by pneumotachometry and spirography, and cardiovascular system by the method of rheography. The attacks of apnea were effectively eliminated and prevented by electrostimulation (ES) of SCN. The frequency of the attacks 2 and 5 years after the procedures decreased 2.8 fold, and the duration of the attacks--3.5 fold. Daily consumption of antiasthmatic drugs decreased by 2.7 times. Some complications were detected rejection of the electrostimulator (1 patient), paresis of n. hypoglottis (1), suppuration of the wound (3), abnormal mobility of the electrostimulator (1). ES of SCN can be applied in patients with complicated forms of bronchial asthma and severe drug addiction.
