Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in parasternal respiratory muscle activation applying electromyography during different modes of noninvasive mechanical ventilation with respect to maximal volitional respiratory muscle activation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
- resting EMG of the respiratory muscles (M. sternocleidomastoideus, parasternal muscles, diaphragm) for the right / left body side<br>- maximal innervation as assessed by EMG during maximal voluntary breathing maneuvers (PImax, Sniff, TLC-breathing)<br>- sensation of dysnpoea during different modes of noninvasive mechanical ventilation
