title: [The effect of combined respiration physiological measures on pulmonary gas exchange and ventilation].
abstract: The immediate effect of physiotherapy and the effect of IPPB-inhalations in 18 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease and global respiratory failure have been investigated and discussed. The procedures (physiotherapy or IPPB-inhalations) were tested singly and in combination. Better results are obtained when physiotherapy is performed before IPPB-inhalation. A significant decrease in pCO2 and a significant rise in VC and FEV1 are observed, with unchanged pO2.
