title: [Respiratory muscle hypotonia as one of the causes of hypoventilation and hypoxemia in patients with chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis].
abstract: In 21 patients with chronic renal failure spirometric and electromyographic (included m. pectoralis, m. rectus abdomini, m. obligus abdomini) examinations were performed before and after hemodialysis. We observed a decreased myoelectrical activity of muscles on the basis of amplitude of EMG. Weakness of the respiratory muscles may be one of the causes of hypoventilation and hypoxemia during hemodialysis.
