- Title
Drawing up dantrolene for the treatment of malignant hyperthermia: use of a drawing up spike to make the process easier and quicker.

- Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited disorder of the ryanodine receptors in skeletal muscle, triggered by inhalational anaesthetic agents and depolarising muscle relaxants. Despite very few anaesthetists having experienced a case of MH during their career, it is well known that dantrolene can be time consuming to prepare, with the guidelines rightly recommending that one member of staff is designated purely to prepare dantrolene in an MH emergency.
