Abstract in brief

  • Myasthenic crisis (MC) is a serious condition related to myasthenia gravis (MG), characterized by respiratory failure that often requires ventilation support due to muscle weakness.
  • MC typically occurs in 15-20% of MG patients, commonly within the first 2-3 years of diagnosis, and can be triggered by factors like respiratory infections; however, a specific trigger is not identified in 30-40% of cases.
  • Immediate treatment focuses on airway management and addressing triggers, with plasmapheresis favored for severe cases; most patients can be weaned from mechanical ventilation within a month, and the overall prognosis is favorable with a low mortality rate of under 5%.

I would really love to know how on earth an insurance company thinks that a patient in myasthenic crisis who immediately had to go to the ICU and get PLEX for over a week because they couldn’t breathe is an appropriate “observation” admission. What are we doing here?

Myasthenic crises occur in approximately 15%–20% of patients with MG. In 30-40% of cases, no provocative factor is identified. Mortality rate in US cohorts is < 5% and seems to be driven by age and other medical comorbidities. Read this review on the topic https://t.co/1pMwhhmRy4 https://t.co/DilGWUS8VZ

Myasthenic crisis can be improved by maintaining steroid-sparing immunosuppression and using lower prednisone doses, as these factors reduce the risk of life-threatening sepsis.

@modernainjury I got IVIG when I went into myasthenic crisis and I believe it helped me. I am fighting for another dose atm. It didn’t cure me by any means - I am homebound, can’t tolerate light, sound, sensory stuff, barely taking care of myself. (2/5)

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disease where patients suffer from debilitating fatigable muscle weakness requiring lifelong management. Many patients within the first two years of diagnosis will experience a myasthenic crisis, which can lead to respiratory failure, https://t.co/nn4XDeYPdb

I’m home! With A LOT of meds. Need to rest for a week. What we know is that I was going into a Myasthenic crisis, and are thinking an another TIA (little stoke) happened also. The ER was packed, so many sick people in the halls, nurses and docs running everywhere. I felt for everyone.

I would really love to know how on earth an insurance company thinks that a patient in myasthenic crisis who immediately had to go to the ICU and get PLEX for over a week because they couldn’t breathe is an appropriate “observation” admission. What are we doing here?

Whoa! So this is what happened when my airway collapsed due to a myasthenic crisis (which hadn't even been suspected at the time) and I later had to be on a vent and it took about 3 months to get off the vent?!
