Diseases of the nervous system and muscles often cause problems with breathing, coughing and swallowing. Profound knowledge is required to interpret and treat these conditions correctly, while lack of it results in treatment decisions which are burdensome or outright dangerous for the patients. Taking the reader through the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of breathing, swallowing and coughing, this comprehensive text clarifies the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory impairments from diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and muscles. Practical advice is offered on treatment in neurological, medical, intensive care and palliative care units as well as in rehabilitation and long-term care. Written by renowned neurologists, with decades of experience, clinicians and healthcare professionals working in neurology, pulmonology, anaesthesiology, intensive care and paediatrics will find this guide indispensable.
