[Use of atracurium in patients with muscular diseases. 2 cases of distal and mitochondrial myopathy].
The successful management of 2 cases of rare myopathies, who underwent hemithyroidectomy, is here reported. Anaesthesia was induced with TPS and fentanyl, and maintained with isoflurane. Neuromuscular blockade was achieved by atracurium; neuromuscular monitoring by Neurostar-Medeleck was performed. This intraoperative monitoring allowed a quick recovery without complications.
