Neuromuscular effects of sevoflurane in myasthenia gravis patients

Abstract: During sevoflurane anaesthesia, concentration-dependent inhibition of neuromuscular transmission was observed in MG and control patients. The inhibitory effects of sevoflurane were more prominent in MG patients with baseline T4/T1 <0.90.

“…Sevoflurane has low blood/gas and tissue/gas solubility and may be a suitable volatile anesthetic agent for general anesthesia in patients with MG. Sevoflurane also has an inhibitory effect on neuromuscular transmission in MG patients. 9 We used propofol with sevoflurane combination, that provide good intubating conditions without the need for muscle relaxants and adequate depth of anesthesia (BIS 35 at the time of intubation), which was very much required in our patient.…”
