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.

Martin Groß MD is a neurologist with specialization in critical care, palliative care, emergency medicine and sleep medicine and medical director of the MEDIAN Clinic Bad Tennstedt. In different hospitals he treated neurological patients of all ages with impaired respiration, cough and swallowing in an in- and outpatient setting, and built up specialized healthcare structures providing weaning, rehabilitation, and long-term care for those patients. He is President elect of the German Society for Out-of-Hospital Ventilation and Intensive Care (DIGAB). His scientific interests are disorders of respiratory regulation and cough, and health services research. He has authored, co-authored and edited various peer reviewed articles, and books, including the German reference book on Neurorespiratory Medicine. Eelco F. M. Wijdicks MD, PhD is Professor of neurology, College of Medicine and Science, Mayo Clinic. In 1992 he established the Mayo Clinic Neurocritical Care Program. He is an attending neurointensivist in the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus in Rochester, MN. He was the founding editor of the journal Neurocritical Care, the official journal of the Neurocritical Care Society. He originated the FOUR SCORE coma scale. He has been named Honorary Member of the Neurocritical Care Society. He received the Dutch Winkler medal, and the Mayo Clinic honoured him with the Karis Award and Distinguished Educator Award. He is also a professor of the history of medicine, College of Medicine and Science, Mayo Clinic, and former president of the International Society of the History of Neurosciences. He has approximately 1000 peer-reviewed research papers, practice guidelines, topic reviews, book chapters and editorials to his credit. He has authored, coauthored and edited over 35 books on neurocritical care with multiple later editions. Maxwell S. Damian is an Australian-born neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist who specializes in neurocritical care and neuromuscular disease. He trained in Germany and the United Kingdom, where he was Consultant in neurology at Cambridge University Hospitals until retirement from the NHS. Since then, he has worked part time in neurocritical care of cardiac and neuromuscular disease and remains active in teaching and research. He has authored numerous original papers and co-authored and edited several textbooks in these areas. He was chair of the Neurocritical Care section of the European Academy of Neurology and is a fellow of the Neurocritical Care Society, USA and of the European Academy of Neurology. PD Dr med habil Oliver Summ is head of the department of Neurointensive Care and Rehabilitation at the Protestant Hospital in Oldenburg. He received his MD and completed his residency in neurology at the Department of Neurology at the University of Münster. As a postdoctoral fellow he worked at the University of California San Francisco at the headache research laboratory. He is also board certified in intensive care, pain medicine and palliative care. Oliver Summ's research interests are neurointensive care, central respiratory regulation and headaches. He serves as head of neurointensive care and rehabilitation, as a consultant for the headache clinic and as a lecturer in neurology at the University of Oldenburg.
