What is Neuromuscular Respiratory Failure about?

## Abstract Breathing is a continuous, rhythmic, to-and-fro movement that requires a close interplay between arterial PCO2, oxygen, and respiratory centers. Certain thresholds exist for respiratory drive, and these thresholds change with acute neurologic disease. Primary structural lesions to the brainstem are most common, but decreased levels of consciousness frequently trigger episodic breathing. This chapter discusses the essentials of the respiratory pacemaker and neurologic breathing patterns.
