I have MG that decided to bring cancer along for the party. There are very limited videos that talk about MG from a patient point of view. Anytime I have been in the hospital, I have told the doctors and nurses that if anyone has questions about MG to ask me. That’s the only way for people to learn and I’m more than happy to help in anyway I can. Thank you again for the video on MG!

From someone with myasthenia gravis, thank you so much for making this video! It brings me some comfort knowing how truly knowledgeable anesthesiologists are. I’ve been under anesthesia countless times but it’s still always a little stressful with MG. I recently had a bad anesthesia encounter that left me with profound weakness upon waking up (and into the next day). We now know to have even more emergency medications and interventions ready in PACU as I wake up. Very glad to hear you guys are thoroughly educated on MG. Helps make these potentially scary and stressful situations feel a little easier.

Thanks for putting this together Max! Shout out to your dad for telling us about it 🙂 When I was first diagnosed, I had a thymectomy. My anesthesiologist did not take my MG and recent crisis into consideration. I was in "recovery" for over 24 hours and the surgeon wasn't sure I was going to wake up. I made sure that I personally speak to any anesthesiologist before surgery now. Once we are both comfortable - then we move forward. Congrats Dr Feinstein!!!!

Thank you for making this video. I have MG and have luckily avoided this issue entirely by insisting on local anesthesia for operations including repair of a completely severed Achilles tendon (pre-arthroscopic, circa 1990) and repair of a torn medial collateral thumb ligament (“skiers thumb”). I realize there are times when general anesthesia is unavoidable but I was quite surprised at the reluctance of the surgeons to just use local. There was huge pushback but I explained that I have MG and that the best way to avoid complications is just to use local. The operations were uneventful; I was completely awake and chatting with the doctors. This experience convinced me that there are lots of surgeries that could be done under local but that, as one of my surgeons put it, “we prefer our patients to be asleep”.

@onebuffalo5402 Жыл бұрын

A lot of the time it just comes down to experience of the surgeon/anesthesiologists. Some do spinals, peripheral blocks and/or local anesthetic blocks for basically every single patient whom those arent contraindicated for(whether they’re doing it awake or going under GA-all the above are great for intraop and post op pain management for normal patients as well so they help decrease the amount of opioids needed). Where as some surgeons/anesthesiologists basically never do blocks bc they arent comfortable performing them due to lack of experience with it. Really comes down to training and how comfortable they are doing them tbh. Unfortunately for tendon surgeries, bc the surgeon needs to stretch the tendon. They need muscld paralysis bc it basically makes the muscle flaccid and thus is easier for them to stretch and reattach. Meaning they either have to do what you had done, which is a local block at they level of the surgery where the local anesthetic blocks action potentials to the msucle fibers (thus giving the same flacid paralysis effect) or you have to be tubed under GA with muscle relaxant on board (which MG pts are sensitive to so anesthesia generally dont want to paralyze yall unless they have to). Now a days local and peripheral blocks are far more common thanks to better and better ultrasound machines (and training on newer docs).

@onebuffalo5402 Жыл бұрын

For the most part its: use and LMA or a MAC and keep them spontaneously breathing the entire case if you cand. If not; if its a bigger procedure and you have to put a breathing tube in and paralyze then you want to use low dose MR’s amd just run them very deep (instead of using the MR to primarily keep them from moving use your gases/narcs/propofol to do so). Then use sugammadex to reverse rhe MR. In cases like people with MG you basically want to keep them spontaneously ventilating without a tube because if they meet whats known as leventhals criteria bc if they do then its more likely than not they will have to remain intubated in PACU until they’re deemed strong enough to remove the tube.

@AJohnson0325 Жыл бұрын

Some medical conditions that cause weakness you have to avoid certain drugs like muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, etc. It depends on the condition and as a rule of thumb less is more when giving anesthesia. A lot of serious neuromuscular conditions can increase risk of acid reflux/aspiration too.

MG warrior here--THANK YOU for this video! I've had 2 laproscopic surgeries in the past year and both anesthesiologists used Propofol, which I'm otherwise unfamiliar with. First surgery I had a fantastic anesthesia experience, second surgery my MG flared pretty badly afterwards but I reco ered okay. It's interesting to hear what these options are! Now I can have a more educated conversation with my anesthesiologist before my next surgery!

@onebuffalo5402 Жыл бұрын

So its more likely the issue wasnt the propofol(propofol is actually one of our friends for MG pts, bc its one of the options we have in our pocket if we want/have to decrease the amount of paralytic we use-its referred to as running a deep anesthetic, basically we load up on more gas/propofol/narcotic and this can blunt your motor reflexes like how muscle relaxant does, but it does so outside the perview of the neuromusuclar junction where muscle relaxant works/MG exists) . The issue you had was more likely the paralytic used/how much/what they reversed the paralytic with/did they give you any other drugs that we routinely give that potentiate(prolong) the effects of paralytic . Bc it was laparoscopic surgery you were almost assuredly tubed and then given a muscle paralytic so they could get up under your abdominal muscle layer without those muscles tensing up/spasming. Problem is MG pts are SUPER sensitive to the muscle relaxants we give known as NMDRs. Meaning you want to run lower dosing than you would for a normal patient. Likely the second surgery they went heavier on the paralytic, you’re more sensitive to it(you require less for the same effect thus the excess was just sitting there waiting for its turn to work). Idk what reversal agents they gave or how much, you likely still had some on board which helped contribute to your feeling of weakness. The NMDRs we give block ach release pre synaptically, im sure you know this, how do we treat your MG while awake? You take a drug that helps increase your ach in the synapse in order to overcome your decreased amount of ach receptors. Thus if our NMDR is still semi-active and blocking the ach release into the synapse, you now have fewer receptors and less ach and thus the profound weakness you felt.

Dear Dr. Max, I want to thank you so much for sharing your heart and your knowledge with me. You will bless so many! I am an eight time Sero-Negative refractory, generalized Myasthenic since early childhood with PLEX being my main lifeline now. I also take Mestinon, Cellcept, and Prednisone. I am quite ill and chronically symptomatic. In April 2023 I had an AV-Graft placed. The nerve block did not work so general anesthesia was opted for. Sometime during surgery my diaphragm failed. As the surgery was being completed, I awoke to my entire body spasming from head to toe. Once these muscle spasms stopped, my brain was awake and I was hearing everything being said between the doctors and nurses. YET, my body was completely paralyzed! I could not open my eyes, move my limbs, or speak. In my head I am SCREAMING "I'm here, I'm awake, I can hear you, PLEASE, PLEASE help me!" But noone could hear me. The body spasms continued which is one of my weird symptoms. I awoke three days later in ICU, ventilated, and spasming . This was so incredibly frightening and physically devastating. I do not understand why this happened. Do Any thoughts? I am not asking for medical advice just needing to understand and mentally process the experience. My surgeon will not offer any insight. I am truly grateful to you and your heartfelt respect, understanding, and support of Myasthenia Gravis. If you do not mind, I will keep your loved one in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your wonderful career. You are a gem! 🦋

Fascinating video, thank you. My late father suffered from MG much of his life, and I've learned a lot about the condition over the years through my own research, but I learned some things here. I didn't realize neostigmine was used as an antiparalytic after anesthesia - if I recall correctly, it was one of the earlier pharmacological treatments for MG until a buffered form (Mestinon) came to market. Mestinon never did a lot for my dad, hence his heavy reliance on corticosteroids, which saved his life, but also hastened his death. My best to your loved one living with MG.

I could only sip a little bit of water, if I tried to drink it would go up my nasal passage, I ate a couple of saltine crackers, sat,sun,mun,tus, on Monday I saw my PCP doctor, she gave me some antibiotic, and some allergy pills. They didn't help at all. On Tuesday I got my myasthenia gravis infusion, on Wednesday I was finally able to drink and eat again, still have a hard time, but it is better. My mg Dr practitioner I don't think she knows what she's doing, when I talked to her it's like, it's like talking to the wall, she said she's going to do something and never does it, I feel hopeless😢😢😢 I'm sorry if I bothered you.

Do patients with multiple sclerosis encounter similar problems with anesthesia? I have MS

@iTzMaJorTaK Жыл бұрын

No. MS has no association to the receptors described in this video.

@onebuffalo5402 Жыл бұрын

There are other anesthesia considerations for MS patients. Ie: you cant get a spinal for pain relief. But your considerations are different from that of MG

1) malignant hypothermia 2) June is pride month- only pointing out because logistic of going about awareness. Don't intend to open the can of bees about what gets a month and does not- the designations just get confusing for pretty much anyone trying to keep up.
