Study Summary

This is an early feasibility study to investigate whether transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles synchronous with voluntary exhalation can be used to support ventilation and affect hyperinflation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As part of this study, the effect of a range of stimulation intensities and stimulation timing profiles will be explored.

Primary Outcome

Inspiratory Capacity was measured before and after two minute periods of volitional and abdominal stimulation assisted breathing. The two minute trials of breathing were measured while patients were seated.
