Malignant Hyperthermia-Associated Rhabdomyolysis After Succinylcholine: A Case Report.

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Malignant hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis is a condition that lies on the spectrum of malignant hyperthermia (MH). Unlike MH, malignant-hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis is a condition which most commonly is recognized in the postoperative period by the development of discolored brown urine with notably absent rigidity, tachypnea, tachycardia, and hyperthermia. The presented case describes the subtle onset of malignant hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis, along with a review of relevant literature.
