Steroid-induced rapid recovery from respiratory dysfunction in a patient with myasthenia gravis after spinal anesthesia.

abstract：:We report a case involving a 55-year-old man who had a recent resection of tracheal carcinoma and tracheal reanastomosis. He subsequently developed tracheomalacia and anastomotic dehiscence requiring airway stenting via an armored endotracheal tube (ETT). Placement of the armored ETT was technically difficult. It requ...
