During a surgical procedure, in a pig, under general anaesthesia with sevoflurane, the animal developed malignant hyperthermia. Malignant hyperthermia was expressed only by a progressive increase of rectal temperature without early symptoms from the cardiopulmonary system. The delayed onset of the malignant hyperthermia may be due to the co-administration of a number of drugs at the pre-anaesthetic phase as well as during the surgical procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
