This university hospital-based case control study included 31 parents with a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) child and 30 parents (control group) of a child with a fever. The study was conducted in southern Taiwan. The study compared the differences of stress and coping strategies between the two
Episodes of acute myoglobinuria or cardiac arrest were occasionally complicated in general anesthesia of patients with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). Whether these complications are malignant hyperthermia (MH) or not has several times been discussed. In the present study, we
Adverse reactions to genral anesthesia, which partly resembled malignant hyperthermia (MH), were more frequent in muscular dystrophy than in controls. In the present study, 35 cases so far reported in Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD or BMD) were analyzed and their pathogenesis was
The case histories are presented including the anaesthetic and postoperative management, of two children, a two-year-old with undiagnosed Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and a three-year-old with known DMD. The child with undiagnosed DMD had no symptoms of DMD and had received halothane twice
We present a 17-year-old boy with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) who developed hyperthermia and heart failure after general anesthesia. He presented clinical features of malignant hyperthermia (MH), and had masseter spasm and elevated body temperature (38.7 degrees C) with very high serum CK
BACKGROUND
Patients with muscular dystrophy have been reported to experience a variety of life-threatening complications during and after general anesthesia. We performed a systematic analysis to define the spectrum of anesthetic-related complications in patients with muscular dystrophy, with an
The caffeine contracture response was studied on the skinned muscle fiber in patients with MH episodes or with DMD. An abnormally enhanced caffeine contracture was observed in 12 out of 14 subjects with MH episodes and 11 out of 13 patients with DMD. The extent of abnormality was almost the same in
