Key result
Supportive measures and active cooling successfully resolve malignant hyperthermia without dantrolene in a pediatric case.
Why the study?
Because India lacks a national registry for malignant hyperthermia, case reports are needed to understand its incidence and the challenges in recognizing and treating it.

Early diagnosis and aggressive supportive measures can lead to favorable outcomes in malignant hyperthermia even when dantrolene is unavailable.
Ramanujam et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Malignant hyperthermia (n=1). Anesthesia (isoflurane, N2O, propofol, morphine) was evaluated. An 8-year-old female developed malignant hyperthermia during isoflurane anesthesia and was successfully managed with supportive measures and active cooling despite the unavailability of dantrolene.
