Multiple sclerosis is the most common demyelinating, chronic disease of the central nervous system diagnosed in and affecting young adults. This disease can significantly alter the life of affected people, and there is no known cure. It is important to understand and review this disease process because anesthesia providers are likely to encounter patients with multiple sclerosis in their practice. The purpose of this AANA Journal course is to present an overview of multiple sclerosis. The pathophysiologic features, symptoms, manifestations, diagnosis, and pharmacologic treatment are discussed, with a focus on the implications of multiple sclerosis for general and regional anesthesia.
多发性硬化症是中枢神经系统最常见的脱髓鞘慢性疾病，多见于并影响年轻人。这种疾病会显著改变患者的生活，且目前尚无已知的治愈方法。了解和回顾这一疾病过程很重要，因为麻醉医生在工作中可能会遇到患有多发性硬化症的患者。本《美国麻醉护士协会杂志》课程的目的是概述多发性硬化症。文中讨论了其病理生理特征、症状、表现、诊断和药物治疗，重点是多发性硬化症对全身麻醉和区域麻醉的影响。
