A Case Report of Myasthenia Gravis Anesthesia Management for Thymectomy

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Anesthesia management in myasthenia gravis is a great challenge for all anesthesiologists. In this disease, even small doses of muscle relaxants could lead to delayed recovery for respiratory muscles. Case Report: In this report we introduced our anesthetic regimen for a patient who was brought to the operation room for thymectomy. For anesthetic management of such patients, non muscle relaxant technique (NMRT) is recommended.
