Overview - Rare inherited disorder in which a severe life-threatening reaction occurs due to inhaled anesthesia gases or a muscle relaxant called succinylcholine Hypermetabolic state that results in a rapid rise in body temperature and severe muscle contraction Possibly resulting in death if untreated Overview-Pathophysiology - A defect in calcium regulation results from a triggering anesthetic agent due to an inherited disorder of the musculoskeletal system. This calcium regulation defect ...

What is malignant hyperthermia? - It is a rare, life-threatening, hypermetabolic skeletal muscle disorder. How does malignant hyperthermia occur? - Triggering agents induce significantly increased calcium concentrations in the skeletal muscle cells. Sustained muscle contraction occurs. Energy-dependent calcium channels try to remove the excess calcium which increases the metabolism of the skeletal muscles. The increased metabolism depletes ATP stores and causes lactic acidosis. The acidosis...

The nurse notices clear nasal drainage in a patient newly admitted with facial trauma, including a nasal fracture. The nurse should: A. test the drainage for the presence of glucose. B. suction the nose to maintain airway clearance. C. document the findings and continue monitoring. D. apply a drip pad and reassure the patient this is normal. - A. test the drainage for the presence of glucose. Clear nasal drainage suggests leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The drainage should be tested...

Malignant hyperthermia - is a life-threatening familial hypermetabolic disorder of skeletal muscle that can be precipitated by specific anesthetic agents. characteristics of MH - tachycardia, tachypnea, hyperthermia, generalized muscle rigidity, acidosis, and increasing ETCO2 levels. how fast does the temperature increase with MH? - Rapid increase in temperature by as mush as 1o C every 5 mins. how does acidosis result from MH? - is a result of increased skeletal muscle metabolism that may...

What is the incidence of malignant hyperthermia in children? Adults? What is the mortality rate for malignant hyperthermia? - The incidence of malignant hyperthermia is 1 in 15,000 anesthetics in children and 1 in 50,000 in adults, The mortality rate is 10%. What are eleven clinical manifestations of malignant hyperthermia? - (1) Hypercarbia, (2) tachycardia, (3) tachypnea, (4) hyperthermia, (5) hypertension, (6) cardiac dysrhythmias, (7)acidosis (metabolic), (8) hyperkalemia, (9) skeletal ...
