Lack of availability of dantrolene sodium causes difficulty in management of malignant hyperthermia in different parts of India. We hereby report the case of a seven-year-old girl child who developed malignant hyperthermia and expired in spite of all sincere efforts. In conclusion, it is essential to have a comprehensive knowledge of the disease (MH) for a successful anesthetic management and dantrolene sodium should be available in all parts of India. |
