Suspected malignant hyperthermia during sevoflurane anesthesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare anesthetic-related disorder. We present a case with unusual presentation. A boy aged 3 years and 9 months who was scheduled for Hotz's operation presented normally before the operation. Anesthesia was induced by atropine, thiopental and sevoflurane. Trachea intubation was facilitated by succinylcholine. Jaw stiffness was first noted although trachea was intubated without difficulty. The following tachycardia, hypercapnia and hyperthermia led to the diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia. Symptoms were relieved dramatically after the discontinuation of sevoflurane. Molecular genetic testing identified a novel ryanodine receptor (RYR1) mutation in exon 39, which confirmed malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in this patient.

A case of malignant hyperthermia during anesthesia induction with sevoflurane -A case report-
We experienced a case of malignant hyperthermia (MH) in 6-year-old boy during anesthesia induction for strabismus surgery. It has been generally reported that sevoflurane can induce the delayed onset of MH in the absence of succinylcholine. Our case of MH was elicited after about 2-3 min of sevoflurane administration with N(2)O, O(2) and rocuronium. However, we successfully treated the patient ...

متن کاملDelayed Onset Malignant Hyperthermia after Sevoflurane
Malignant hyperthermia is a hypermetabolic response to inhalation agents (such as halothane, sevoflurane, and desflurane), succinylcholine, vigorous exercise, and heat. Reactions develop more frequently in males than females (2 : 1). The classical signs of malignant hyperthermia are hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, increased carbon dioxide production, increased oxygen consumption, acidosis...

PURPOSE Preparation of anesthesia machines for patients who are susceptible to malignant hyperthermia includes flushing the machine with vapour-free fresh gas to washout residual anesthetic agents. To establish guidelines for the preparation of the Dräger Primus machine, we compared the washout profiles for isoflurane and sevoflurane in the Dräger Primus and Ohmeda Excel 210 anesthesia machines...
