Neuromuscular monitoring in myasthenic syndrome [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 2001 We describe the anaesthetic management of a 72‐year‐old man with myasthenic syndrome. Pre‐operatively, he was treated with 3,4‐diaminopyridine and showed a strong hand grip. During general anaesthesia with nitrous oxide and sevoflurane in oxygen, a mechanomyograph and two accelerographs were set up for the hands and left foot to monitor neuromuscular ...
