Malignant hyperthermia is a rare but potentially fatal condition. We present 2 cases of young patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring intubation for hypoxic respiratory failure who both developed significant hyperthermia post intubation and were suspected to have malignant hyperthermia. However, the 2 patients had different responses to conservative management and dantrolene. These cases highlight the increased challenge imposed by intubation complications when managing patients with COVID-19.
恶性高热是一种罕见但可能致命的疾病。我们报告了2例2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的年轻患者,他们因低氧性呼吸衰竭需要插管,插管后均出现明显高热,并被怀疑患有恶性高热。然而,这2例患者对保守治疗和丹曲林的反应不同。这些病例凸显了在管理COVID-19患者时插管并发症带来的更大挑战。
