Interventions

Group 1: Following blood gas measurements and siprometry the patient will be put in a sitting position. Surface-EMG electrodes will be placed after desinfection and cleansing of the skin. Signal qual
there will be 15min of rest between each study session. NIV will be performed with the NIV-masks for the individual therapy. Setting 1: low-intensity NIV - pressure settings will be set according to t

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Differences in parasternal respiratory muscle activation applying electromyography during different modes of noninvasive mechanical ventilation with respect to maximal volitional respiratory muscle activation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- resting EMG of the respiratory muscles (M. sternocleidomastoideus, parasternal muscles, diaphragm) for the right / left body side - maximal innervation as assessed by EMG during maximal voluntary breathing maneuvers (PImax, Sniff, TLC-breathing) - sensation of dysnpoea during different modes of noninvasive mechanical ventilation
