Respiratory failure

Calcium chloride
Lidocaine

Systemic lupus erythematosus + Commonly associated with cricoarytenoiditis

Osteogenesis imperfecta + Increased risk of bone fracture
Myotonic dystrophy + Hypothermia triggers muscle contracture

Sepsis
Neuroleptic syndrome

Paget’s disease
Scleroderma
