Accelerated contractures after administration of ryanodine to skeletal muscle of malignant hyperthermia susceptible patients.

abstract：:A simple method of adapting a pressure-cycled ventilator of the flow generator type to ventilate patients on a circle-absorber anaesthetic system is described. Standard lengths of corrugated black rubber tubing are placed between the ventilator and the circle-absorber is deadspace, replacing the reservoir bag. The per...
