Abstract

We report the triggering of an episode of malignant hyperthermia (MH) in a patient shortly after the reversal of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockade. To our knowledge, this is the only report describing MH triggering coincidental with reversal of neuromuscular blockade in the English literature and the only report of MH susceptibility in an ethnic Hmong patient.
