ABSTRACT: Our research was designed to explore the more effective
rescuing treatment by summarizing clinical features of the patients with
myasthenia gravis crisis. During the course, we carried out a retrospective analysis
about clinical data and the course of diagnose and treatment of 38 patients (65
cases) with myasthenia gravis crisis who were in hospital in recent 15 years.
As a result, most patients with myasthenia gravis crisis relieved after positive treatment and the mortality was
3.1%. Among lots of treatments, incision of trachea earlier, hormonal therapy,
dry treatment and to unite these three treatments were more effective than
other treatments. The effective ratio was 100%. In the end, we concluded that
to unite incision of trachea, immunosuppressive treatment and dry treatment
reasonably can increase the effective ratio of rescuing myasthenia gravis
crisis and improve the prognosis of patients obviously.
