Abstract
A method of stimulating breathing which comprises the steps of positioning a non-invasive internal electrode in the esophagus and two external electrodes on the chest. A pulsed stimulation of approximately two seconds duration is interposed across the electrodes with a magnitude of the successive pulses in each stimulation increasing linearly. An interval of approximately three seconds is interposed between successive stimulations. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the polarity of successive electrical stimulations is reversed.
