Popis: Several alterations of electrolyte metabolism have been demonstrated to impair respiratory muscle performance: respiratory muscle function improves after magnesium administration in hypomagnesiemic patients1; an increase in transdiaphragmatic pressure after the correction of hypophosphataemia has been found in hypophosphatemic patients2; low values of maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure values were significantly increased after phosphate repletion in both hypophosphatemic surgical3 and medical patients.4
