متن کاملMYASTHENIA GRAVIS AND THYMECTOMY: A 10-YEAR STUDY IN SHIRAZ

متن کاملSuccinylcholine neuromuscular block in the myasthenia gravis patient.
The decrease of “functional” endplate receptors in MG can decrease the response to the chemical transmitter acetylcholine, as well as to the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine. In contrast, the decreased “safety margin” results in a marked sensitivity to nondepolarising relaxants. In normal patients, the wide “safety margin” may explain the slow onset of nondepolarizing block, as well...
