Abstract
Cardiac arrest occurred in a 5 1/2-year-old child with suspected Duchenne’ s muscular dystrophy ten minutes following induction of anaesthesia with halothane, nitrous oxide and oxygen. No muscle relaxants were administered. The cardiac arrest was associated with hyperkalaemia, acidosis, myoglobinuria, elevated serum creatinephosphokinase anda 1.6° C rise in temperature. The child made a complete recovery after receiving 90 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Un arrêt cardiaque survenant chez un enfant âgé de 5.5 ans suspect d’avoir une dystrophie musculaire de Duchenne est survenu dix minutes après l’induction de ianesthésie avec halothane, protoxide d’azote et oxygène. Aucun relaxant musculaire n’était administré. L’arrêt cardiaque était associé à une hypercaliémie, acidose, myoglobinurie, une augmentation du CPK et une augmentation de 1.6°C dans la température. L’enfant s’est rétabli complètement après 90 minutes de réanimation cardiopulmonaire.Keywords
