Non-muscle Relaxant Total Intravenous Anesthesia for Tracheal Resection in Myasthenia Gravis: A Case Report and Literature Review

In patients with myasthenia gravis, anesthesia for tracheal resection and reconstruction surgery is a serious challenge; due to post-surgical considerable risk for mechanical ventilatory support. Postoperative positive pressure ventilation and an endotracheal cuff pressure may cause anastomosis dehiscence after surgery.In this case report, we discuss the usage of a non-relaxant, total intravenous anesthesia technique to decrease the risk of post-surgical ventilatory support, in a case of tracheal resection surgery of a myasthenia gravis patient with post intubation subglottic stenosis.
