Abstract
Neuromuscular diseases and respiratory failure are common problems encountered in both neurologic and medical intensive care units. Neuromuscular respiratory failure can be caused by diseases of the motor neuron, peripheral nerve, neuromuscular junction, or muscle. Thus, localization of the disorder is essential for adequate management.
