Abstract
Two cases of malignant hyperthermia are described where the earliest sign was a rise in the end-tidal CO2 concentration. This led to nearly immediate detection and adequate treatment with sodium dantrolene. These cases demonstrate the efficacy of monitoring end-expired CO2 concentrations in patients at risk from malignant hyperthermia, as well as a means for following the adequacy of treatment.Entities:
