Key result
Multidisciplinary management and delayed administration of dantrolene successfully rescued a 13-year-old adolescent with malignant hyperthermia and a peak temperature of 44.2°C.
Why the study?
Malignant hyperthermia is potentially fatal without early recognition and prompt aggressive treatment, especially when ready-made dantrolene is not immediately available.
Population
One 13-year-old adolescent undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy who developed malignant hyperthermia
