title: [A new method of pain sedation following thymectomy in myasthenia gravis. 2 cases].
abstract: Two patients with myasthenia gravis were ventilated postoperatively using propofol and piritramide for analgosedation. Under this treatment the patients' ability to cooperate and communicate was maintained and allowed a patient-controlled readjustment of pyridostigmine dosage and weaning from the respirator.
