BACKGROUND
Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) is usually associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is rare in children. However, a fatal malignant hyperthermia-like syndrome (MHLS) with rhabdomyolysis associated with new-onset diabetes mellitus and HHNS in adolescents has been
We are reporting a case of endosulfan poisoning, admitted in a state of altered consciousness, vomiting, and seizure. The diagnosis was based on history, physical examination and positive reports from toxicological screening. After 8 hrs of admission, a sudden rise in EtCO(2), respiratory rate,
The pre-anaesthetic administration of dantrolene sodium to individuals at risk from malignant hyperthermia has not yet found an accepted place in human anaesthetic practice, although the effectiveness of dantrolene sodium as a prophylactic drug has been clearly shown in animal studies. In the
Five dogs, 4 of which were Greyhounds, suffered adverse effects secondary to the ingestion of spent hops. Mean time to onset of clinical signs was 3 hours, and clinical signs included marked hyperthermia, restlessness, panting, vomiting, signs of abdominal pain, and seizures. Four of the 5 dogs died
BACKGROUND
The 5-HT(3)-receptor antagonist ondansetron, commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting, was suspected of triggering malignant hyperthermia (MH) when a 5-year-old boy died after receiving a therapeutic dose of ondansetron. To evaluate a possible influence of ondansetron on the onset of
A young healthy male, who had three consecutive episodes of postoperative hyperthermia was anaesthetized with special precautions to prevent malignant hyperthermia. Despite neuroleptic anaesthesia and dantrolene pretreatment, the patient experienced post-anaesthetic hyperthermia. The patient's
BACKGROUND
Informed consent should be sought when performing anaesthesia on pregnant patients. There is no standard for consent for general anaesthesia on the delivery suite. This study was designed to assess post-partum women's awareness of the complications of general anaesthesia and the level of
BACKGROUND
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in pediatric intensive care units to limit the complications associated with intubation. However, NIV may fail, and the delay in initiating invasive ventilation may be associated with adverse outcomes. The objective of this retrospective
BACKGROUND
Total intravenous anesthesia usage in children remains relatively unpopular in the UK and Ireland. A postal survey by Hill et al in 2008 indicated that only 26% of Consultants used a propofol infusion at least once a month.
OBJECTIVE
Following an increase in teaching and training

Anesthesia requires informed consent because it is an invasive procedure with certain risks. However, the state of informed consent for anesthesia in Japan remains unclear. The purpose of this survey was to examine the state of informed consent for anesthesia in Japan. A questionnaire was sent to
Sevoflurane may be an interesting substance for paediatric anaesthesia due to its combination of a very low blood-gas partition coefficient and non-pungency. This review discusses the status of sevoflurane in paediatric anaesthesia on the basis of studies published so far. The blood-gas partition
Induction, emergence and recovery characteristics were compared during sevoflurane or halothane anaesthetic in a large (428) multicentre, international study of children undergoing elective inpatient surgical procedures. Two hundred and fourteen children in each group underwent inhalation induction
OBJECTIVE
Although both succinylcholine and rocuronium are used to facilitate emergency department (ED) rapid sequence intubation, the difference in intubation success rate between them is unknown. We compare first-pass intubation success between ED rapid sequence intubation facilitated by
OBJECTIVE
