[Electrostimulation in the therapy of bronchial asthma]
Abstract:
Programmed electrostimulators of the sinocarotid nerves were implanted to 78 patients with bacterial asthma (BA) with a severe hormone-dependent course (age 18-67 years). Radiofrequency electrostimulation was performed daily for 6 years (impulse current, 30-150 Hz, 0.1-0.4 ms, 0.1-0.5 W. The regime was selected individually by the bronchodilating effect measured at pneumotachometry. The electrostimulation effectively arrested and prevented the majority of asphyxia attacks, reduced their frequency (2.7-fold) and need in medicines (2.7-3.4-fold). Serious complications were absent. Electrostimulation of the sinocarotid nerves can be applied in patients with bronchial asthma resistant to drug therapy, in side effects of glucocorticosteroids and adrenomimetic drugs.

Asthma-I: Introduction
The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
