“…Another alternative that has been recommended particularly for brief procedures or where surgery cannot be postponed is to continue anaesthesia with nontriggering agents while monitoring end tidal C02, temperature and arterial and venous blood gases. Karan et al (1994) have recently shown that femoral venous blood gas analysis is as early a sign of MH as an increase in end tidal C02 in MH susceptible swine. Littleford et al (1991) have demonstrated that clinical signs of MH will occur in about 10% of cases of MMR when the anaesthetic is continued with triggering agents especially following total body rigidity.…”
