ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT WITH HISTORY OF MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a very rare life threatening condition. It has an incidence of 1:4,500 to 1:60,000 patients undergoing general anaesthesia. Disorder occurs worldwide and affects all racial groups. Clinical MH produces rapidly increasing body temperature and extreme acidosis as a result of acute loss of control of intracellular calcium levels and compensatory uncontrolled increases in skeletal muscle metabolism that may proceed to severe rhabdomyolysis. MH has a mortality rate of about 10%. We report a rare case of 59 year old male patient with history of malignant hyperthermia posted for laproscopic cholecystectomy and its perioperative management.
