Abstract
- A 43 years old female patient who had known FSH form(Fascioscapulohumoral type) muscular dystrophy was scheduled for total abdominal hysterectomy due to uterine myoma. Induction of ansthesia was performed without muscle relaxant and maintained with fentanyl, oxygen and nitrous oxide. Muscle relaxation was excellent without neuromuscular blocking agent by the meuromuscular twitch monitoring(too week response to neuromuscular twitch at 70mA). After the end of operation, the patient was awaken without any problem and was transferred to recovery room.
