Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia is still a serious complication during general anaesthesia. We report on a patient who suffered from MH 70 minutes af ter the beginning of general anaesthesia and who was finally successfu l treated. Special attention should be given to the endtidal carbon di oxide monitoring as golden standard for early detection of MH.
