We evaluated a 2-year experience involving 22 patients who required prolonged
mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure associated with myasthenia gravis. The most
frequent cause of respiratory failure was operation, and the most common type of procedure
was thymectomy. Next in frequency as exacerbating factors were myasthenic crisis and
cholinergic crisis. Of the 22 patients, 21 survived and were weaned from the ventilator after 1
to 32 days of respiratory support.
