Implication

May prompt vigilance for delayed MH with desflurane; case extends known triggers but leaves incidence open.

Structured PICO

Population

16-year-old female patient, 44 kg, ASA physical status II, scheduled for surgical correction of thoracic scoliosis.

Intervention

Desflurane anesthesia (maintained at 2.5-3 vol% minimal-flow anesthesia)

Outcome

Development of malignant hyperthermiasafety

Desflurane can act as a trigger for delayed-onset malignant hyperthermia, which may occur after several hours of uneventful anesthesia and requires prompt treatment with dantrolene.
