Abstract
This article describes the preoperative preparation of patients with neuromuscular disorders. These entities are a relatively rare and diverse group of diseases that can affect various organ systems in addition to the central nervous system. The anesthetic implications for the various comorbidities are varied and can be profound. These patients should be optimized before surgery, with the involvement of a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
