TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Malignant hyperthermia: Multifactorial events leading to a crisis JO - Annales Francaises d'Anesthesie et de Reanimation A1 - Le Guen, M. A1 - Houissa, H. A1 - Langeron, O. SP - 792 EP - 795 VL - 32 IS - 11 N2 - This case-report focused on the occurrence of a crisis of malignant hyperthermia on a young biker (21 y.o.) victim of a severe traffic accident. This observation gives some key points: the delayed occurrence of the crisis after 4hours of surgery, the multi-factorial events that triggered the crisis; the choice to perform a quick diagnosis through gene analysis in comparison to the standard tests of caffeine on a muscular biopsy. These different points are discussed with a proposal of algorithm in the situation.
