Abstract
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disease with a multisystemic involvement and multiple drug interactions not restricted to neuromuscular blockers, but also including anaesthetic and analgesic agents, increasing the risk of anaesthesia-related complications. In this case report, we describe our safe and effective anaesthetic technique for a Myasthenia Gravis patient submitted to Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy thymectomy, requiring neuromuscular block. Since we are dealing with an increasingly frequent disease, the authors wish to highlight the need for appropriate consensus, as no standardized recommendations have been brought through, encouraging scientific societies in the provision of guidelines, especially whenever neuromuscular blocking agents are necessary.
