Malignant hyperthermia is an acute life threatening complication. This is caused by certain drugs that are used for general anesthesia. This begins when the skeletal muscle is exposed to certain agents which increase calcium levels in the muscle cells and increase levels of metabolism. Many things begin to increase such as serum calcium, potassium and metabolic rate. This problem can lead to acidosis, cardiac dysthymias, and high body temperature. Signs of malignant hyperthermia include,…

toxic to normal cells cytotoxic leading to damage, in particular in cells divides as those in gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, testicles and ovaries, which can cause loss of fertility. Most of the alkylating agents are also carcinogenic. Hyperthermia is…

dysfunction due to the increase stress on the heart (Lemke, 2007). If the fluid shift, caused by these circulating catecholamines, overloads the pulmonary system then neurogenic pulmonary edema can happen resultantly. Another effect of catecholamines is hyperthermia and potential hyponatremia if diaphoresis ensues. The patient exhibited an increasing temperature throughout the shift. The temperature started at 37.2 and crept up as high as 38.9 degrees Celsius. Other effects of the stress…

Encephalocele Johni L. Cochran University of Cincinnati An encephaloceles is a type of neural tube defect.
