Abstract:

An anesthesiologist may have only one odd occasional encounter with malignant hyperthermia throughout his or her clinical career, but it is always a reminder of our professional inadequacies, may it be clinical management, or availability of essential drugs or equipment. Malignant hyperthermia strikes when one least expects, as it happened in a child in postop recovery in a cleft camp. Quick decision and ready availability of dantrolene controlled the syndrome.
