2. Malignant Hyperthermia Flashcards
MH genetics mutations (2)
mutation in either:

RYR1 receptor
Ca2+ release channel
on sarcoplasmic reticulum
RYR1 known mutaions
110
CAV1.1 receptor
DHP receptor
L-type Ca2+ channel
in T-tubule
CAV1.1 known mutations
2
MH chromosome locations
1
15
19
MH genetic pattern
autosomal dominant
w/ variable penetrance
MH genetic prevalance
1:3000
MH genetic concentration
scandinavian descent
higher inicidence of occurrence in wisconsin and upper midwest
_____% of pts who develop MG have have previous uneventful anesthetics with triggering medications
50%
krebs cycle
glucose —>
ATP + CO2 + heat
normal physiology responses
transient hyponatremia
transient hyperkalemia
ATP hydrolysis (incr heat)
SERCA activation (incr heat)
how does MH occur
sustained RyR activation
= sustained Ca2+ release (need more ATP)
Mg2+ inhibition of Ca2+ release is blocked
– Ca2+ release continues
MH most potent trigger
halothane
MH triggers
volatile agents (iso, sevo, des)
sux
MH awake triggers
high intensity exercise
heat
anoxia
apprehension
exercise ____ min prior to trigger _____ severity and _____ onset
exercise <60 min prior to trigger increased severity and hastened onset
MH general clinical signs
incr metabolism
incr sympathetics
muscle damage
hyperthermia
incr metabolism signs 7
incr CO2 production
incr O2 consumption
decr MVO2 tension
metabolic acidosis
respiratory acidosis
cyanosis
mottling
incr sympathetics
tachycardia
hypertension
arrhythmias
MH arrythmia progression
PVCs
bigeminy
VTACH
VFIB
asystole
3 ways to correct hyperkalemia
membrane stabilization
transfer of K+ INTO cells
incr K+ excretion
correct hyperkalemia: membrane stabilization
hyperventilation
give CaCl (500-1000mg) or Ca gluconate (1000mg)
correct hyperkalemia: transfer of extracellular K+ INTO cells
give 5-10 units insulin w/25-50g glucose
(10 units insulin w.50 mL of 50% dextrose)
give beta agonist (albuterol)
when do you just give insulin in MH treatment
if glucose levels are > 250
correct hyperkalemia: incr K+ excretion
give loop /thiazide diuretic (furosemide 20-40mg)
give GI cation exchange resins (kayexalate)
start hemodialysis
give sodium bicarb
what do GI cation exchange resins do
bind K+ in GI tract
MH clinical signs: muscle damage (7)
masseter spasm
rigidity
incr creatine kinase (CK)
hyperkalemia
hyperphosphatemia
myoglobinemia
myoglobinuria
what indicates muscle breakdown
myoglobin release
clinical signs: hyperthermia
fever (1 degree in 5-15 mins)
sweating
hyperthermia is the first sign of MH in _____ of cases
4%
hyperthermia is one of the first signs of MH in ____ of cases
8%
is there a dependable early sign in MH presentation
not really
common early MH signs (4)
hypercarbia
tachycardia
generalized muscle rigidity
MMR
what should be an immediate assumption of MH
MMR after exposure to trigger
above ____ degrees C causes:
above 41.5C causes:
- organ dysfunction
- DIC
late MH signs
rhabdo
myoglobinuria
MH arterial blood gas
elevated base deficit
MH BMP
hyperkalemia
MH Mag
hypermagnesemia
