Jovanovski Srceva M, Kokareva A

Abstract :

 When anesthetic management for myasthenia gravis patients presented for thyroid surgery is revealed several issues should be taken into consideration: patient medical history, preoperative therapy, airway management, the use of neuromuscular relaxants, usage of opioid anesthetics and possible complications. We present, 65–year–old female with long term myasthenia gravis and tracheal resection who underwent two interventions for thyroid surgery on two separate interventions. Patient for the both surgeries underwent different preoperative neurological preparation and two different induction and anesthesia techniques (with and without muscle relaxant anesthesia). Postoperative complications after the both surgeries are also reported. In conclusion we might say that Myasthenia gravis patients are real anesthetic challenge and thir course is unpredictable and correlated to many aspects
