Two cases are presented of malignant hyperthermia in black patients. One patient developed signs of malignant hyperthermia during general anesthesia that was successfully treated with dantrolene sodium and cooling. A second patient was retrospectively diagnosed as having an atypical variant of malignant hyperthermia secondary to heat stroke and general anesthesia; this patient subsequently died. These cases illustrate that malignant hyperthermia can occur in blacks despite the very low incidence of this syndrome in nonwhite patients.
本文报告了两例黑人患者发生恶性高热的病例。一例患者在全身麻醉期间出现恶性高热症状,通过使用丹曲林钠和降温治疗成功治愈。另一例患者经回顾性诊断为继发于中暑和全身麻醉的非典型恶性高热变异型;该患者随后死亡。这些病例表明,尽管非白人患者中该综合征的发病率极低,但黑人仍可发生恶性高热。
