Summary

The future challenges for neurorespiratory medicine are significant with respect to the consequences of medical progress, demographic changes and epidemiological forecasts. The treatment of a variety of neurological diseases like genetic disease, inflammatory diseases and stroke improves steadily, and life supporting technologies and care structures are undergoing an evolution, too. To agree on a subset of principles of care, to define professions and qualifications needed to care for patients with respiratory impairment due to neurological disease and to strive for further medical and technological progress are key necessities. These are discussed in this chapter, and a number of suggestions for further research are advanced.
