Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare genetic disorder triggered by inhalational anesthetics or depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents that carries significant mortality if not promptly treated. The following case presents a healthy 39-year-old man who developed MH several hours into an anesthetic exposure. Rapid intraoperative stabilization tactics that paralleled intensive care unit (ICU) level care allowed for continuation of operative management as opposed to case termination given the patient was at high risk for permanent nerve palsy if the case were to be aborted during dissection.
