Abstract

The path to effective treatment of a neuromuscular emergency starts with its prompt recognition. In the emergency situation, most modern diagnostic tools of neuromuscular medicine will not be available or results will return too late to inform the initial crucial decisions. This chapter provides an introduction to the concepts of recognition and initial assessment of neuromuscular disease in the very first stages of emergency treatment.
