Malignant Hyperthermia
''Malignant Hypothermia'' syndrome is a rare, but dangerous occurrence, the aetiology of which is not known. Up to this date 180 cases have been reported. This syndrome i's seen generally in :male children over age of two years, and especially in adolescent males. Also those people with muscular abnormalities are more susciptable to this illnes'S. Anaesthetic agent such as halothane or muscular...
متن کاملRecognizing and managing a malignant hyperthermia crisis: guidelines from the European Malignant Hyperthermia Group.
Survival from a malignant hyperthermia (MH) crisis is highly dependent on early recognition and prompt action. MH crises are very rare and an increasing use of total i.v. anaesthesia is likely to make it even rarer, leading to the potential risk of reduced awareness of MH. In addition, dantrolene, the cornerstone of successful MH treatment, is unavailable in large areas around the world thereby...
متن کاملMalignant Hyperthermia—Molecular Testing
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is triggered by all inhalative anesthetics as well as depolarizing muscle relaxants in genetically predisposed individuals. Presymptomatic testing is important in this potentially fatal pharmacogenetic disease. In vitro challenging of muscle samples with halothane and caffeine is the basis of contracture testing, which until recently was the only accepted diagnostic ...
متن کاملEuropean Malignant Hyperthermia Group guidelines for investigation of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility.
It is 30 yr since the British Journal of Anaesthesia published the first consensus protocol for the laboratory diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility from the European Malignant Hyperthermia Group. This has subsequently been used in more than 10 000 individuals worldwide to inform use of anaesthetic drugs in these patients with increased risk of developing malignant hyperthermia dur...
متن کاملAbnormal ryanodine receptor channels in malignant hyperthermia.
Previous studies have demonstrated a defect associated with the calcium release mechanism of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) from individuals susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH). To examine whether SR calcium release channels were indeed altered in MH, SR vesicles were purified from normal and MH susceptible (MHS) porcine muscle. The Ca2+ dependence of calcium efflux rates from 45Ca2(+)-fill...
