Malignant Hyperthermia: An Anesthesiology Simulation Case for Early Anesthesia Providers

Introduction The patient is a 40-kg, 12-year-old Caucasian male with history of asthma who is undergoing an elective inguinal hernia repair. There is no family history of anesthesia-related complications. The surgery proceeds under general anesthesia with an IV induction with propofol, fentanyl, and...
