Malignant hyperthermia due to anaesthesia - what does this mean

Malignant hyperthermia due to anaesthesia is a rare but life-threatening reaction to certain anaesthetics and muscle relaxants. it is caused by an abnormal increase in the sensitivity of muscle cells to these agents, resulting in an uncontrolled rise in body temperature, increased heart rate, and other metabolic changes. the condition can be fatal if not treated promptly and aggressively.

What happens during the disease - malignant hyperthermia due to anaesthesia

Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, potentially life-threatening disorder triggered by certain anaesthetics and other medications. it is caused by an abnormal response to the medication, resulting in an increase in calcium levels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells, leading to an uncontrolled increase in muscle contractions and an increase in body temperature. this leads to increased metabolic demand and oxygen consumption, leading to a rise in lactic acid levels, which can cause serious organ damage and even death if not treated quickly.

Malignant hyperthermia due to anaesthesia - Prevention

Malignant hyperthermia due to anaesthesia can be prevented by careful pre-operative monitoring, use of specific drugs to reduce the risk of hyperthermia, and close monitoring of the patient during and after the procedure. additionally, it is important to use the lowest possible dose of anaesthesia and to avoid triggering agents such as succinylcholine.
