	Hyperpyrexia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Malignant hyperpyrexia (or Malignant hyperthermia) is a particular condition caused by the breakdown of muscle following its over-excitation, in response to certain stimuli, such as extreme exercise (especially in a high ambient temperature), intense and prolonged convulsions, anesthesia, fever or some drugs, such as cocaine, alcohol and aspirin.
		Malignant hyperpyrexia is accompanied by abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmia) and kidney failure.
		The susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant inherited trait.

		Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited disease that causes a rapid rise in body temperature (fever) and severe muscle contractions when the affected person?undergoes general?anesthesia.
		Malignant hyperthermia is often noted for the first time after a patient is given anesthetic drugs during a surgical procedure.
		If you or anyone in your family has malignant hyperthermia, it is very?important to tell your doctor, especially before having surgery with general anesthesia.

	Malignant hyperthermia
		Causes and Risks: Malignant hyperthermia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait (it requires only one affected parent to inherit the condition).
		Malignant hyperthermia is often noted for the first time during administration of anesthesia.
		For an episode of malignant hyperthermia, antipyretics (fever-reducing medications such as acetaminophen) and a cooling blanket can help reduce acute episodes of fever.

	Malignant Hyperthermia
		Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited disorder in which affected individuals do not react appropriately to certain general anesthetia drugs such as halothane, cyclopropane, and the muscle relaxant succinylcholine.
		Malignant Hyperthermia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
		Malignant Hyperthermia patients should be certain that the drug dantrolene sodium is available at a hospital where they are to undergo surgery.

		Malignant hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning it requires only one parent carrying the disease for a child to inherit the condition.
		The use of a drug called dantrolene during episodes of malignant hyperthermia has greatly reduced the number of deaths.

		In 1970 he reported that malignant hyperpyrexia was often associated with hypertonicity of the voluntary muscles and elevation of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), phosphate, and potassium, indicating severe muscle damage.
		Epidemiology: Malignant hyperthermia in response to general anaesthetic has been cited as 1 in 15,000 administrations to children and 1 in 50,000 to 100,000 in adults.

		It is possible that the main title of the report Malignant Hyperthermia is not the name you expected.
		The drugs that trigger malignant hyperthermia are the volatile inhalation gases including sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, halothane, enflurane, methoxyflurane and depolarizing muscle relaxants such a succinylcholine.
		The characteristics of a malignant hyperthermia episode are variable and include muscle rigidity, high blood pressure (hypertension) increased levels of carbon monoxide in blood or exhaled gas, rapid irregular heart rate, rapid deep breathing, blue skin, acidity of the blood and muscle damage.

	Malignant hyperthermia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MH is sometimes confused with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome, but the two syndromes are distinct.
		Malignant hyperthermia is caused in a large proportion (50-70%) of cases by a mutation of the ryanodine receptor (type 1), located on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the organelle within skeletal muscle cells that stores calcium.
		In contrast, the neuroleptic malignant syndrome consists of a defect in the central nervous system manifesting in altered responses to dopamine antagonist drugs.

		Malignant hyperthermia is a group of inherited muscle problems characterized by muscle breakdown following certain stimuli.
		These stimuli include anesthesia, extremes of exercise (particularly in hot conditions), fever, or use of stimulant drugs.
		It is important to recognize susceptible patients before giving them anesthesia.

		Unlike malignant hyperthermia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome, heatstroke is not characterized by muscular rigidity.
		Reliance on classic heatstroke symptoms for diagnosis (eg, extreme hyperpyrexia, anhydrosis) may be misleading.
