Pathophysiological aspects of the control of the respiratory function in scoliosis IV severity

Abstract

The electrophysiological evaluation of the features of the functional state of the respiratory system in 90 patients with scoliosis of the spine IV severity before and after surgical treatment is performed. The analysis data of the spirography, pulseoximetry, and transcranial magnetic stimulation results allowed us to objectify the pathophysiological mechanisms of the respiratory insufficiency developing under the conditions of severe scoliosis deformity of the spine and chest.
