Signs and Symptoms
The typical symptoms of malignant hyperthermia are due to a hypercatabolic state, which presents as a very high temperature, an increased heart rate and breathing rate, increased carbon dioxide production, increased oxygen consumption, acidosis, rigid muscles, and rhabdomyolysis.
The symptoms usually develop within one hour after exposure to trigger substances, but may even occur several hours later in rare instances.
