A member asked:
Is this malignant hyperthermia if i only have problems in surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Malignant hyperthermia would only occur during a general anesthesia, and with certain anesthetic medications. You absolutely must notify your anesthesiologist if you have a history of this condition, so that this life threatening condition can be avoided.
