MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS- ANESTHESIA IMPLICATIONS



# Most often, postop exacerbation, if it occurs is due to surgical complications like fever and infections

# Even minor increases in body temperatures are not tolerated well

# With the use of Suxamethonium, there is a risk of hyperkalemia

# Both resistance and prolongation of NMBA response are seen

# Complications have been reported with spinal anesthesia (Weak myelin sheath and direct neurotoxicity from LAs have been suggested as reason for this)

# Epidural is safe in this regard (As in epidural technique, there will be a lower concentration of LA in white matter)

# We should explain the chance of exacerbation of symptoms before any form of regional anesthesia
