title: [Fatigue of the respiratory muscle and respiratory insufficiency].
abstract: Recent results on respiratory muscle function are reviewed, with special regard to the muscle fatigue theory of respiratory failure. In this respect diagnostic measures and clinical symptoms are reported. Therapy is directed to reduce the work of respiratory muscles and temporarily rest them. Within this special role is given to the treatment with respirator and positive pressure breathing.
