The book begins with a review of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the neuromuscular diseases that affect the respiratory system. It then includes chapters on pediatric concerns and the transition from pediatric providers to adult providers. There is additionally a focus on various therapeutic approaches and the monitoring of noninvasive ventilation. Finally, it includes a chapters on secretion clearance, palliative care and end of life decision making.
