Malignant Hyperthermia - Coggle Diagram
Malignant Hyperthermia
Patho/ Etiology
triggered by anesthesia
build up of calcium in skeletal muscle
inherited autosomal dominant trait
drastic increase in metabolism
Body temp rises
High CO2 production leads to acidosis
Damage to muscle cells
altered cell permeability
Risk Factors
Male
High muscle mass
genetic predisposition
Complications
Muscle damage
Kidney damage
dysrhythmia
F/E imbalance
can be fatal if not recognized
DIC
Collaborative Treatment
Discontinue procedure/ medication
100% O2
Dantrolene
Bicarb (acidosis correctio)
Reduce temp if >39c
Prevention (patient screening)
S&S
hyperthermia (late)
muscle rigidity (jaw)
high end-tidal CO2
F/E imbalance
Flushing
increased respiratory rate
Increased HR
Labs/ Diagnostics
CO2
chem panel
