【 摘 要 】

We encountered a case of malignant hyperthermia in a 52 year old male undergoing open reduction/internal fixation of humerus fracture under general anesthesia. Isoflurane has been reported as a potent triggering agent of malignant hyperthermia. Dantrolene remains the gold standard for treating this life threatening syndrome but it is not available in many countries including Pakistan. However, we successfully managed our patient by timely recognition of this syndrome and administering prompt and effective symptomatic treatment.
