Objective:To explore the risk factors in mechanical ventilation on patients with myasthenia gravis after thymectomy.Methods:42 patients with myasthenia gravis were treated by thymectomy from January 1987 to August 2003.Using logistic regression model
a multi-variate analysis was made with regard to age
sex
disease history
Osserman classication
pathological types
the consumed time of operation
the preoperatie dose of pyridostigmine
the preoperative usage of hormone.Results:The major risk factors that affected mechanical ventilation on patients with myasthenia gravis after thymectomy were Osserman classication and pathological types.Conclusion:Osserman classication and pathologic types might serve as indices for the prolonged mechanical ventilation.
