Malignant hyperpyrexia and isoflurane. A case report.

D W Thomas1, V J Dev, M J Whitehead.   

Abstract

Malignant hyperpyrexia developed, and was successfully treated, in a 50-year old man undergoing pyelolithotomy. Early diagnosis with the assistance of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring facilitated prompt treatment with i.v. dantrolene. A positive muscle biopsy subsequently confirmed the diagnosis. The only likely triggering agent used was isoflurane.
