Review
Supports respiratory monitoring in stroke; leaves open mechanism-specific intervention trials.
Stroke may disrupt breathing either by (A) causing a disturbance of central rhythm generation, (B) interrupting the descending respiratory pathways leading to a reduced respiratory drive, or (C) causing bulbar weakness leading to aspiration.
