简介
Objective
Postoperative myasthenic crisis with respiratory failure is a potentially lethal complication, warranting careful perioperative planning and extended postoperative surveillance of patients. Data on the incidence of postoperative respiratory failure and optimal management of patients after robotic-assisted thymectomy are limited.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of respiratory complications and the need for intensive care unit (ICU) capacities after robotic-assisted thymectomy in patients with myasthenia gravis.
Design
Retrospective cohort study.
Setting
Single University hospital in Vienna, Austria, from January 2014 to December 2019.
Participants
The authors included adult patients who underwent robotic-assisted thymectomy due to myasthenia gravis.
Main Results
Of 72 patients, 4 patients (5.6%) developed postoperative respiratory failure, needing noninvasive ventilation/intubation …
