Özet
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder mainly caused by antibodies against the muscle acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Loss of these receptors lead to a defect in neuromuscular transmission resulting with muscle weakness and fatigue. The use of muscle relaxants has remained controversial because patients with myasthenia gravis are known to be sensitive to their effects. The unpredictable susceptibility to muscle relaxants in patients with MG requires special considerations for anesthetic management. Experiences related to induction and maintenance of cardiac anesthesia without the use of muscle relaxant in patients with myasthena gravis are limited. In this report; induction and maintanence of anesthesia with sufentanil and propofol without neuromuscular block has been represented in a patient with MG undergoing cardiac surgery.
