      abstract = {The central nervous system, which includes the brain and  spinal cord, has a high metabolic demand. The physiology of  the brain is such that it is easily affected by alterations  in other systems, which in turn can compromise cerebral  blood flow and oxygenation. Together the brain and spinal  cord control the automatic function of our body systems.  While other systems of body controls individual functions,  central nervous system at the same time does many different  functions, especially, controlling the function of other  systems. This interaction between the brain and other  systems is important when it comes to understanding how  injuries to the brain can, at times, produce complications  in remote organs or systems of the body, such as the lungs.  This book explains the lesser-known crosstalks between  acutely or chronically affected brain and lung, describing  the pathophysiology of the lung following brain injury and  discussing in detail the conflicts between the brain and  lungs in relation to the tidal volumes, positive  end-expiratory pressures, arterial carbon dioxide and  oxygen levels, recruitment maneuvers and positioning, as  well as potential therapeutic targets. },
