Elevated risk with combined agents warrants vigilance; leaves open validation in contemporary cohorts.
What is the incidence of malignant hyperthermia associated with different types of anesthesia?
The incidence of fulminant malignant hyperthermia is rare overall but significantly higher when combining potent inhalation agents with succinylcholine.
