Abstract |
Anesthesiologists have a particular interest in myasthenia gravis, since they may need to provide anesthesia for thymectomy or other surgery, or they may have to be involved in the treatment of respiratory failure which mar complicate this disease. We report a case of balanced anesthesia, using thalamonal-N2O-O2 for thymectomy in myasthenia gravis, which posed no postoperative respiratory problem. |
