Popis: Anaesthesia with atracurium, fentanyl, and continuous intravenous infusion of propofol in two myasthenic patients is described. There were no intra and postoperative problems and operative conditions were considered excellent. This technique offers a safe alternative to inhalational anaesthesia for patients with myasthenia gravis. Monitoring of neuromuscular function is mandatory. The use of atracurium in myasthenic patients and the influence of propofol on neuromuscular transmission are discussed.
