Summary

This chapter comprehensively classifies respiratory impairment acute brain injury affecting breathing and explores its clinical relevance. It focuses on common causes of acute brain injury (ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage) and discusses which anatomical structures can be implicated. By putting together basic pathophysiological and clinical information, this chapter should enable clinicians who encounter patients with brainstem and hemispheric lesions, which significantly affect respiration, not only to better understand the presumed anatomical structures involved but also to manage these conditions.
