Malignant hyperthermia is a condition for which the anesthesiologist must be prepared to take specific measures. Associated mortality is high despite correct diagnosis and, occasionally, the right treatment. ⋯ It is therefore necessary to establish appropriately revised protocols and action plans to cope with this possibility. A reference center cannot be created by individuals, but we can become more aware of the need to establish up-to-date protocols in our departments in order to be prepared for this situation.
