Stiff-person syndrome is a progressive disease of muscle rigidity and spasticity due to a deficiency in the production of γ-aminobutyric acid. Because of the rarity of the condition, little is known about effects of anesthesia on patients with stiff-person syndrome. ⋯ Her anesthetics included use of both neuromuscular blockade and volatile agents. Unlike several previous reports regarding anesthesia and stiff-person syndrome, the postoperative period for this patient did not require prolonged intubation or result in any residual weakness.

To determine the median effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanil during targeted-controlled infusion for smooth tracheal extubation during emergence from total intravenous anesthesia in elderly patients. ⋯ Target infusion of remifentanil at 0.94 ng/mL could effectively inhibit tracheal extubation-related cough response and cardiovascular responses in 50% of the female elderly patients without delaying recovery from anesthesia, which could ensure smooth tracheal extubation during emergence from anesthesia.
