Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to discuss the management of anesthesia in our case with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to present the effects of sugammadex administration. A 36-year-old pregnant patient with MS disease was followed up for 6 years. She was on steroid treatment. The patient had not suffered the entire pregnancy. In addition to performing routine monitoring, "train of four" (TOF) monitorization was used. General anesthesia was given using propofol and rocuronium. At the end of the operation, muscle relaxation was reversed using sugammadex in the patient with a low TOF score. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. The most reliable method should be preferred in patients with MS. In patients under general anesthesia, the muscle relaxant effect is prolonged, and sugammadex can be safely used.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
