    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Neurological respiratory insufficiency may be the primary cause of admission to an intensive care unit or may develop during care in an intensive care ward. Severe respiratory insufficiency due to nervous system causes either involves a lack of central drive or weakness of the respiration muscles. The former are induced by a wide variety of encephalopathies and the latter by diseases of anterior horn cells, peripheral nerve, the neuromuscular junction, or muscles of the chest wall or diaphragm. In an intensive care unit, it is often not possible clinically to determine whether there is a lack of central drive or a neuromuscular problem. It is now possible by electrophysiological methods to pinpoint the site of nervous system cause of respiratory insufficiency. This review will describe the various electrophysiological techniques currently available and describe how they have been successfully applied in investigating some conditions that cause severe respiratory failure.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die neurologisch bedingte Atemmuskelinsuffizienz kann sowohl Ursache zur Aufnahme an der Intensivstation sein als auch sekundär im Rahmen der Intensivtherapie auftreten. Das Spektrum neurologisch bedingter Atemstörungen umfaßt eine Vielzahl von Erkrankungen des zentralen und peripheren Nervensystems. Die klinische Differenzierung der Genese neurologischer Atemstörungen ist insbesondere bei Patienten der Intensivstation häufig nicht möglich. Neu entwickelte elektrophysiologische Techniken erlauben eine präzise Lokalisationsdiagnostik der Atemstörung, welche für das Management dieser Patienten nützlich ist. In dieser Übersicht werden die elektrophysiologischen Untersuchungen zur Diagnostik der Atemmuskelfunktion und deren Einsatz bei neurologisch bedingten Atemstörungen vorgestellt.
