The use of amide local anesthetics in dental patients presumed to be susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH) is controversial. A literature review of 17 recent dental publications and their reference citations revealed that the recommendation to avoid local anesthetics of the amide type in dental

A 3-in-1 lumbar plexus block with the aid of a nerve stimulator was performed in 32 patients and a psoas compartment block was performed in five patients for muscle biopsy of the upper leg for diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility. Twenty-two patients were found to be MH

Earlier reports on malignant hyperthermia warned against the use of local anesthetics in the amide class in persons susceptible to the syndrome. The preponderance of data supports the safety of amide local anesthetics in such patients, and these agents should not be withheld from persons at risk for

The anaesthetic management for Caesarean delivery of a parturient with a strong family history of malignant hyperthermia (MH) is presented. Before surgery an anaesthetic machine that was in regular use was prepared by replacing all rubber or disposable components and flushing with O2 at 10 L.min-1

Labeling experiments with [3H]palmitic and [3H]myristic acids of African swine fever virus-infected Vero cells have shown that 11 proteins induced during infection are covalently bound to myristic acid and that palmitic acid was not attached to viral proteins. The time course of synthesis of the

We encountered a case of malignant hyperthermia caused by intravenous lidocaine which had been administered as treatment for a ventricular arrhythmia. The patient, a 72-year-old male, was admitted with chronic renal failure and aortic valvular stenosis. His chronic renal failure progressed, and
