Aka: Malignant Hyperthermia
  1. See Also
    1. Serotonin Syndrome
    2. Neuroleptic Malignant Sydnrome
  2. Definition
    1. Rare, inhalational anesthetic related rapid rise in Body Temperature, muscle rigidity, Hypertension and Tachypnea
  3. Epidemiology
    1. Rare general anesthesia complication
    2. Autosomal Dominant inherited defect
  4. Causes
    1. Similar to Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (due to Antipsychotics)
    2. Anesthetic agents in combination with genetic predisposition
      1. Inhalational anesthetics
      2. Succinylcholine
  5. Pathophysiology
    1. Ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1) defect effects the calcium release channel in muscle
    2. Results in an unregulated increase in skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism
  6. Signs
    1. Hyperthermia
    2. Muscle Rigidity
    3. Hypertension
    4. Tachypnea
  7. Lab: Abnormalities
    1. Metabolic Acidosis
    2. Respiratory Acidosis
    3. Creatinine Phosphokinase (CPK) increased (Rhabdomyolysis)
    4. Serum Creatinine increased
  8. Complications
    1. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
    2. Respiratory Failure
    3. Renal Failure
    4. Cardiovascular Collapse
    5. Rhabdomyolysis
  9. Management
    1. Dantrolene (specific treatment of choice)
      1. Adult: 1 to 3 mg/kg IV
      2. Child: 0.5 to 1 mg/kg IV
    2. Supportive measures (especially until Dantrolene available)
      1. Benzodiazepines
      2. Cooling

Malignant hyperpyrexia due to anesthesia (C0024591)

Definition (NCI) A rare disorder characterized by rapid rise of the body temperature, accompanied by rhabdomyolysis and, if untreated, by collapse and death. It occurs in susceptible individuals who receive certain drugs for general anesthesia, gas anesthetics, or succinylcholine. It may be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Definition (MSH) Rapid and excessive rise of temperature accompanied by muscular rigidity following general anesthesia.
Definition (CSP) usually inherited reaction to general anesthesia manifested as a sudden, rapid rise in temperature, hypermetabolism, and skeletal muscle rigidity; mutation is in the calcium release channel of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum.
