AbstractThis case-report focused on the occurrence of a crisis of malignant hyperthermia on a young biker (21 y.o.) victim of a severe traffic accident. This observation gives some key points: the delayed occurrence of the crisis after 4 hours of surgery, the multi-factorial events that triggered the crisis; the choice to perform a quick diagnosis through gene analysis in comparison to the standard tests of caffeine on a muscular biopsy. These different points are discussed with a proposal of algorithm in the situation.Copyright © 2013 Société française d’anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar). Published by Elsevier SAS.
