title: Malignant hyperthermia during isoflurane anaesthesia.
abstract: Two cases are presented which illustrate the essential features, diagnosis and management of malignant hyperthermia. Both cases occurred in association with isoflurane, and in patients who were exposed during previous anaesthetics to recognised trigger agents without apparent manifestation of the syndrome.
