  • Title: Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol for thymectomy in a patient with myasthenia gravis.
    Author: Roelofse JA, Roth PJ.
    Journal: Anesth Prog; 1993; 40(4):127-9. PubMed ID: 7943922.
    Abstract:
    Experience with the use of propofol for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in patients with myasthenia gravis is limited. This case report documents the safe use of propofol in a patient with myasthenia gravis. Because of its unique pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile, propofol may be an ideal agent for safe use in the young patient with myasthenia gravis.
