Profile of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility reports confirmed with muscular contracture test in Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2019
Background and objectives: Malignant hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant hypermetabolic pharmacogenetic syndrome, with a mortality rate of 10%–20%, which is triggered by the use of halogenated inhaled anesthetics or muscle relaxant succinylcholine. The
