Abstract
Summary: Two cases of malignant hyperthermia are described where the earliest sign was a rise in the end‐tidal CO, concentration. This led to nearly immediate detection and adequate treatment with sodium dantrolene. These cases demonstrate the efficacy of monitoring end‐expired CO2 concentrations in patients at risk from malignant hyperthermia, as well as a means for following the adequacy of treatment.Keywords
