A screening test for the malignant hyperpyrexia phenotype using suxamethonium-induced contracture of muscle treated with caffeine and its inhibition by dantrolene.

چکیده
Suxamethonium induced a contracture in caffeine pretreated human muscle in vitro. The contracture was significantly greater (P less than 0.001) with MHS muscle compared with muscle from normal subjects. This reaction is now used as an additional screening test for the MHS phenotype. The contracture was prevented by pretreatment with dantrolene.

Malignant hyperthermia testing in probands without adverse anesthetic reaction.
BACKGROUND Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is triggered by reactions to anesthetics. Reports link nonanesthetic-induced MH-like reactions to a variety of disorders. The objective of the authors was to retrospectively investigate the reasons for referrals for MH testing in nonanesthetic cases and assess their phenotype. In addition, the response to the administration of oral dantrolene in nonanesthe...
متن کاملA Minimal-Invasive Metabolic Test Detects Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility in a Patient after Sevoflurane-Induced Metabolic Crisis
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare but life-threatening complication of general anesthesia in predisposed patients usually triggered by potent inhalation anesthetics and/or the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine. The authors present a case of delayed sevoflurane-induced malignant hyperthermia in a 21-year-old male patient that was sufficiently treated by discontinuation of trigger agent...
متن کاملDantrolene in the treatment of malignant hyperthermia: a case report
Case report The patient, a 19 year old healthy male, who suffered childhood asthma, was anaesthetised for a planned mandible sagittal split and bimaxillar osteotomia due to prognathia. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol 140 mg and suxamethonium 100 mg was administered for muscle relaxation. Relaxation was not optimal but intubation was performed without problems. Anaesthesia was maintained w...
متن کاملRhabdomyolysis after infection and taking a cold medicine in a patient who was susceptible to malignant hyperthermia.
A case of rhabdomyolysis after a possible viral infection and the use of a cold medication is reported. A 41-year-old man who presented with dysarthria, dysphagia, progressive weakness of his muscles and a high grade fever was admitted. He suffered from massive rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, and bronchopneumonia. Hemodialysis, antibiotics, and hydration therapy were effective in the treat...
متن کاملSuxamethonium spasm. A differential diagnostic conundrum.
Spasm of muscle in association with suxamethonium is not uncommon. As an accepted early sign of malignant hyperpyrexia (MH), patients have been referred for MH screening who have shown only this abnormality. Case histories of 277 probands have been analysed and grouped according to final diagnosis, depending on results of muscle biopsy and in vitro screening. When muscle spasm is induced with s...
