Abstract des Autors
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare muscle disorder that may be fatal. Susceptible individuals are unusually sensitive to anesthetics that allow rapid accumulation of calcium into the cells. High calcium levels lead to a hypermetabolic state, causing heat production and breakdown of the muscle cells. A case history is presented of a college football player who suffered a near heat stroke. Subsequent investigation showed that the player had malignant hyperthermia. Several authors have suggested a similarity between malignant hyperthermia and heat stroke - possibly they are the same disease with different triggering mechanisms. Verf.-Referat
