Successful Anaesthetic Management of A Patient Undergone Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with Epigastric Hernia Repair having Myasthenia Gravis with Ischemic Heart Disease, Type II Diabetes Mellitus & Bronchial Asthma
Keywords:
Myasthenia gravis, Epigastric hernia repair, Laparoscopic cholecystectomyAbstract
The peri-operative anaesthetic management of a patient with Myasthenia gravis poses significant challenge to the anaesthesiologist. A case of successful anaesthetic management of a Myasthenic patient with co-existing Ischemic Heart Disease, Bronchial Asthma and Type II diabetes mellitus, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with epigastric hernia repair is reported. The authors review the anaesthetic considerations in the management of a patient with Myasthenia gravis having coexisting systemic diseases.
