Univent tube for thoracoscopic thymectomy in myasthenic patients anesthetized without neuromuscular blocking agents: An observational study
Despite the potential benefits of NMBAs, the univent tube proved safe and effective for thoracoscopic thymectomy in MG patients without NMBAs, with higher MG stages associated with improved intubation conditions and enhanced surgical conditions with right-side bronchial blockage.
