    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Nursing Science

    Background:

    • Myasthenia gravis is a chronic neuromuscular disorder causing variable muscle weakness.
    • It presents significant challenges for neuroscience nurses in patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline current therapeutic strategies for myasthenia gravis.
    • To detail comprehensive nursing interventions for managing associated patient deficits.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of drug therapies and thymectomy for myasthenia gravis.
    • Description of nursing interventions for common myasthenic complications.

    Main Results:

    • Drug therapy and thymectomy are primary treatments, each with potential complications.
    • Effective nursing care addresses impaired breathing, airway clearance, communication, nutrition, self-care, and vision.
