Clinical Presentation, Treatment, and Complications of Malignant Hyperthermia in North America from 1987 to 2006

Abstract: Elevated temperature may be an early MH sign. Although increased temperature occurs frequently, metabolic acidosis occurs one-third as often. Accurate temperature monitoring during general anesthetics and early dantrolene administration may decrease the 35% MH morbidity rate.

“…The consequences of MH are dire, and death is the uniform outcome if untreated. Even with treatment, significant complications commonly occur, affecting 25% of MH survivors [9]. These include renal and/or cardiac failure, coma, pulmonary edema, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.…”

“…The standard therapy for an MH reaction is discontinuation of the triggering agent, whole body cooling, and rapid administration of dantrolene [6,9]. If given promptly, dantrolene is very effective in minimizing the consequences of MH.…”

“…Se sospecha una crisis de HM en un paciente sometido a anestesia general con alguno de los gatillantes anteriormente descritos, que súbita o larvadamente comienza a presentar hipercapnia evidenciada por el aumento del CO 2 espirado (signo más sensible), taquicardia y rigidez muscular generalizada lo que lleva a una acidosis principalmente respiratoria 15 . También puede presentarse inicialmente con espasmo del masetero.…”

“…El aumento brusco y exagerado del CO 2 espirado por el paciente hace aumentar las reacciones exotérmicas del absorbente de CO 2 (soda-lime) lo que produce la típica coloración violácea y aumento de temperatura de este absorbente 16 . Clásicamente se decía que el aumento de temperatura era un signo tardío de HM, sin embargo, en el último tiempo se ha visto que cerca del 60% de los pacientes presentan aumento ya desde el inicio del cuadro 15 . Otros signos que pueden presentarse en una de estas crisis es el moteado de la piel y cianosis por el aumento descomunal de consumo de oxígeno, que lleva a agotar las reservas de oxígeno.…”
