Death in the Emergency Department

Abstract: A healthy 6-year-old boy developed lower extremity rigidity, trismus, and fever after playing in a splash pool. On arrival in the emergency department, he appeared to be seizing. An endotracheal tube was emergently placed using succinylcholine. Cardiac arrest followed. He could not be resuscitated. Postmortem genetic analysis found a novel RYR1 variant. Family testing revealed the same variant in his father who also had muscle contracture testing diagnostic for susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia and cent… Show more

“…Recently, STAC3 gene pathogenic variants were also reported in a non‐Native American with NAM, and was considered as a cause of susceptibility to MH 68 . Additionally, it is also notable that MHS individuals may occur life‐threatening hypermetabolic reactions not only under anesthesia but also in a state of febrile illness, physical exertion or stress 69,70 . In this review, although articles related to non‐pharmacologic triggers of MH were not included, this phenomenon still deserves attention.…”
