| Popis: |
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. |
