Myasthenia Gravis patient
by Gytis Adams, Sep 29, 1999 12:00AM
Greetings:)
I'd like to know whether or not an EKG may still
be performed on an MG patient once a given patient
has had a tracheostomy procedure done plus a surgical
insertion of a stomach feeding tube through their
abdomen? Or do these "objects" get in the way of an
EKG being performed?
Thanking in advance,
GA
