Abstract: Myasthenia gravis crisis (MC) often involves respiratory muscles and requires mechanical ventilation urgently. As non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) technology unceasing development, its use in acute respiratory failure caused by MC shows obvious advantages. However, how to identify the occurrence of MC at early stage, predict the relevant indicators of NIV for MC treatment, and apply different ventilation strategies to improve the effect of treatment are worthy of attention. In addition, the new development of NIV modes in recent years also provides new direction for the treatment of MC. Therefore, this article reviews recent advance in the clinical application of NIV in MC to provide clinical references.
