  • Title: [Malignant hyperthermia during the 13th general anaesthesia (author's transl)].
    Author: Püschel K, Schubert-Thiele I, Hirth L, Benkmann HG, Brinkmann B.
    Journal: Anaesthesist; 1978 Oct; 27(10):488-91. PubMed ID: 717753.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of malignant hyperthermia in a man of 41 years during his 13th general anaesthesia. All previous anaesthetics were quite normal. Musculoskeletal abnormalities and increased CPK-levels are to be found in some members of the patient's family. The combined use of suxamethonium and halothane might have caused the development of malignant hyperthermia. As a concept of the aetiology of the syndrome the case history indicates that it may be stress-related.
