Abstract

|
|
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited disorder of skeletal muscle manifested as a life threatening hypermetabolic crisis in susceptible individuals following exposure to commonly used inhaled anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants. We experienced a suspicious case of MH in 34-year-old male during transfemoral cerebral angiography embolization under general anesthesia with desflurane. The episode emerged 15 minutes after induction of general anesthesia using propofol, rocuronium, remifentanil, desflurane. Desflurane is a recently developed inhaled anesthetics and there has been no case report of MH related with it in Korea. When we suspected episode, vigorous treatment was carried out, symptoms were resolved without dantrolene administration.
