A Case of Fatal Malignant Hyperthermia During Pes Equinovarus Surgery in a Child
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic syndrome characterized by hyperthermia, tachycardia, acidosis, and muscle rigidity, often triggered by depolarizing muscle relaxants such as volatile anesthetics and/or succinylcholine.

EFFECTS OF DANTROLENE ON ACETYLCHOLINE-INDUCED CONTRACTIONS OF ISOLATED MOUSE ILEUM
Effect of skeletal muscular relaxant, dantrolene, on isolated longitudinal smooth muscle of mouse ileum of which contractions were induced by 10-6 M of acetylcholine (ACh) was investigated. Studies were performed in Tyrode solution. The first ACh-induced

Dantrolene mediates vasorelaxation in cerebral vasoconstriction: a case series
INTRODUCTION: Cerebral vasoconstriction syndromes such as vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and trauma, or Call-Fleming syndrome are difficult to treat, and can lead to substantial disability and death.

Malignant Hyperthermia in Sweden: Clinical Presentations and Genetic Findings
ABSTRACT Introduction Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic, hypermetabolic and potentially lethal reaction to potent volatile anaesthetics and the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. To improve the understanding of MH, the aim of this retrospective study was to describe the Swedish cohort with respect to clinical manifestations, demographics ...

MH Survival without Dantrolene
Treatment of intraoperative malignant hyperthermia (MH) usually involves administration of IV dantrolene, which reduces the mortality from over 80% if untreated to less than 10%.1 When dantrolene is simply not available, physical and metabolic treatments
