“…A careful evaluation of these published cases reveals that they seem to follow one of four clinical patterns: (1) classic acute MH occurring shortly after the completion of surgery and the general anesthetic (table 2) 10 -13 ; (2) atypical MH manifesting as delayed rhabdomyolysis in patients subsequently identified as MH susceptible by contracture testing 14 -17 ; (3) unsubstantiated reports made doubtful by the absence of positive contracture testing or unconvincing clinical characteristics 18,19 ; and (4) cases in which the initial presenting signs of MH seemed to begin in the intraoperative period. 20,21 Classic MH with an initial presentation in the postoperative period is rarely reported; in addition to the cases we found in the NAMHR, we could only identify three additional published reports. 10 -12 The clinical characteristics of these patients resemble our cohort of cases with regard to presenting signs and the short latency time of onset after the completion of the general anesthetic.…”

“…Improved anaesthetic and surgical techniques 14 have contributed to this policy, improving the cost-effectiveness of day-case surgery and limiting escalating healthcare costs. MH reactions in the postoperative period have been well described [15][16][17][18][19] . A review of the suspected cases of postoperative MH in the North American Malignant Hyperthermia Registry from 1987 to 2005 found that, of 528 possible cases, only ten were considered 'likely' MH reactions 18 .…”

“…Zur Therapie einer Malignen Hyperthermie (MH) werden noch immer M e d h e n t e wie Calciumantagonisten, Analgetika, Aprotinin, Chlorpromazin, Cortico-Steroide, Procain, Muskelrelaxantien oder Sedativa gegeben (49). Diese Substanzen sind bei der Behandlung einer M H erwiesenermaßen unwirksam, mit ihrer Gabe vergeudet der Anaesthesist Zeit, die später nicht wieder eingeholt werden kann.…”

“…Der übliche Abstand von einem Krankenhaus zum nächsten verhindert, daß Dantrolen Tag und Nacht sowie Sonn-und feiertags in der geforderten Zeit von Minuten den Notfallort erreicht. Bei drei tödlichen MH-Episoden hat die Tatsache, daß Dantrolen bei Diagnosestellung erst aus der Zentralapotheke des Krankenhauses oder aus einem anderen Krankenhaus herbeigeschafft werden mußte (5,37,49), entscheidend zum fatalen Ausgang beigetragen.…”
