Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH), an inherited myopathia varying in severity and course, is induced by halogenated anesthetic agents and depolarizing muscle relaxants. First recognized as a distinct disease entity in 1960, MH is defined as an anesthesia-related disease due to the agents by which it is triggered. Given the wide use of these preparations in prehospital emergency medicine and intensive care treatment, physicians in other disciplines may also encounter MH.Entities:
