Spontaneous ventilation thoracoscopic thymectomy without muscle relaxant for myasthenia gravis: Comparison with “standard” thoracoscopic thymectomy [PDF]
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018 Myasthenia gravis (MG) benefits from thymectomy. However, its unpredictable response to muscle relaxants and volatile anesthetic agents may result in muscle weakness and subsequently in postoperative myasthenic crisis. The aim of this study was to determine the surgical outcomes after spontaneous ventilation compared with conventional intubated video ...
