[Anaesthesia in a patient susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (author's transl)].
A 13 year old girl who had suffered from an abortive form of malignant hyperthermia during tonsillectomy eight years before was scheduled for orthopaedic surgery. Dantrolene sodium, 3 mg/kg orally, was given prophylactically the day before surgery; preanaesthetic medication consisted of Thalamonal, a fixed combination of droperidol and fentanyl; anaesthesia was induced with methohexitone and maintained as neurolept anaesthesia with fentanyl and droperidol; tubocurarine was administered for tracheal intubation and intraoperative neuromuscular blockade. Using this anaesthetic regimen no adverse reaction was triggered.
