I am the first survivor in Australia of an MHA attack where there was no known family history. Funnily enough, it was related to an appendectomy! My temp went up very rapidly in the operation, and there was discussion of abandoning the operation, but they realised that the time to finish was roughly equal to the time to abandon (as they were already in). Apparently, I improved a bit in the recovery room, and then when I returned to the ward, my temp went way up again, hitting 41.2 degrees Celsius. The operation was in one of the largest private hospitals in my city, and they determined that they couldn't manage it, so they transferred me to a Tertiary Hospital and admitted me to their ICU unit. I ended up spending about 8/9 days in the ward after ICU. The thing that confused me the most was all clothing apart from underpants was removed, and ice bags were put all around me; I felt very cold and didn't understand why they put cold stuff around me. My parents were called and met at the ICU, and they were naturally very concerned. The problem I had in ICU was the anal thermometer (apparently the most accurate), but it made me feel like I needed to go to the toilet all the time (a pan!). The suspected MHA and a few months later, I was admitted to the Royal Canberra Hospital (then only one of these testing places in the world at that time), where I had the biopsy which confirmed the MHA b y Professor Michael Denborough (one of the early researchers of MHA and much of his early research was rejected). Later my Dad went and had the test and he was the genetic carrier. Because testing is still very invasive, we haven't had our kids tested yet (now young adults), so for medical needs they are treated as having the condition. I had around 5 or 6 operations prior to my attack.
My mother found out while giving birth to my brother, she had an attack, and was later tested and found to have MH. I believe my grandfather was the original genetic carrier. Luckily 3/4 grandkids were negative, including both my brother and I. But yes, we all waited until our 20's for the test as it was still a muscle biopsy. Is that still the same way to test now?
Sorry but no. That nurse gave me major cringe vibes. Maybe bc it’s a simulation or something, but the way she was standing there and smiling and staying in the middle of things just seemed so off/wrong.
My oldest step son almost died from this when he was 8 while getting his tonsils out. His temp was over 105 when they checked it. Thank god there was a just graduated nurse anesthetists in the operating room. They thankfully had the meds that he needed that saved his life.
😂😂 I was like, the PACU nurse just hang up, how did she just get there. Then the resident said bay 10 instead of bay 5 while calling the attending 😂. Anyways, good scenario
Where is this hospital? I’m noticing the stretcher. I’ve never seen a stretcher with a separate head part like that in the US also the yellow bag doesn’t seem to be English although they’re all talking in English so I’m a little bit confused, but they also have a lot of accent, so I’m very confused as to where they actually are. . Very realistic training. Are they actually breathing for him or can he breathe through that mask cause I would think if they don’t breathe for him when they have the mask on his face, he suffocate.
Where is this? I have NEVER seen nurses and docs arrive and act so fast in my life, but I wonder if when I was being put in a coma if it was like this. Hope this guy is okay.
Several mistakes within the first 3 minutes. Nurse called and said he did fine in the back without any tachycardia and later says he only received 1L of LR and actually received half that. The senior resident then says IV Dilaudid x2. It’s good they start Dantrolene quickly.
Do U.S. medical staff not wear facemasks around surgery patients? It would be horrible to contract a respiratory infection while recovering from surgery. Coughing with an abdominal incision is very painful.
I had an operation to remove my gallbladder l was going home say day. I did come around operation they told me l had Malignant Hyperthermia they on me for 6 hours l was given medication and transferred to ICU. It took weeks for me to recover my body was swollen and couldn’t walk. I was going for a biopsy but never had it. So in the dark what happened.
I have MH, it only showed up after my 5th operation. An 8 hour op on my leg. Woke up in ICU 3 days later. Apparently the antidote is very expensive. Our 3 hospitals share it up here in Toowoomba. You can also get a form of MH from getting overheated eg. Marathon, sports carnival or just general sun stroke. I also had Rhabdomyolysis twice with no connection. First video I’ve seen on this.
You are a medical miracle with Rhabdo 2times and MH and lived to tell about it. Seriously, there are people that walk this earth that survive diagnoses that would take others out. As an Oncology nurse for 25 years, I saw about 10 patients over that span of time that would have 4 or 5 DIFFERENT primary cancers and beat them when ANY ONE of their cancers in others would have taken them out. I always said that while those individuals had faulty killer cells, they have something different genetically that was superior to average humans. Your story is incredible!
I know I may be late here. And I’m not in any way in the medical field… and I know this is a simulation. But how long can someone be tacky before action needs to be taken? I feel for the amount of phone calling and having them in place with a high heart rate seems- sorta off… But again. I’m not a medical person in any way and would rather ask to be informed then be wrong
The heart rate (136bpm) here isn't really high enough to really hurt him. It is a *symptom* of the MH. AND, the medical staff ARE treating cause of the tachycardia, which in this case is the MH. With tachycardia, the interventions depend on whether the patient is "stable" or "unstable" and what is causing the tachycardia. If someone has sinus tachycardia (which is a normal rhythm-only fast) but their blood pressure is normal, they aren't dizzy or fainting, no nausea or vomiting, no chest pain, and their breathing is normal, then it is not an emergency. But if it is the opposite, then it needs immediate treatment. If it is an abnormal heart rhythm, depending on what rhythm it is, it may be an emergency that needs urgent intervention. This is a simplified explanation. There are many types of tachycardia, many causes, and many treatments/interventions. Hope this helps.
@@cerorchid This is an awesome reply. Thank you very much. I didn’t consider the aspect of it being a symptom that can be controlled by managing MH. I was thinking that it was sort of its own emergency case alongside MH but…. That make sense with it being brought about by MH thereby making MH control == Heart rate control
I have MH. 2 family members passed from this. Thank goodness all of my Dr's. Take it seriously. Even my dentists. I have every faith that I am being taken good care of. And yes, you can get way overheated ans suffer a type of mh. Likely hood increases with age.
Did yall ever screen this patient for a pheochromocytoma??? MEN 2A Syndrome? Remember to check for pheos pre+ post op! Afib? Thyroid? Etc ? Need Endocrinologist+ Cardiologist Consults 😊
I had Hypothermia and Frost bite when I overdosed the person I was with pushed me out of his Car in my Parents front yard in February it was Very Cold Woke up in Hospital they were Running Warm Saline through my Femoral Arteries
I hit the 140's if I get out of bed at night. I was woken up another night by my service dog, HR was 196. I hit high often enough, but am on meds now that it doesn't get quite as high as it used to
Knew it was a sim because a patient would NOT be in street clothes coming from surgery. He'd be unclothed, but with blankets, and the terminal would show flat lined because they hadn't hooked him up to the machine. He'd be in Surgical ICU had he these issues coming out of surgery.
I am just now watching this and through the very same thing. Since when do you wear your own clothes to surgery?? No wonder he has all these things going on. All that bacteria and whatever else is on that shit. Notice none say anything about the shirt?
There is probably a lot you need to do too to improve your health, or are you in absolutely perfect health?? Are you the perfect example of the complete and utter picture of health? Stop criticizing others. 😡
This is not real, if the patient had just come out of the OR, he would have on a blue Hospital gone. Not a T shirt 😂😂😂 also If the patient is so Unresponsive Immediately he would be Rush to the Intensive care unit. Better known as ICU.
Definitely a simulation. He's wearing a T-shirt after an appendix surgery. I've had 70 surgeries, 23 broken bones, amputation at the hip, 6 months in traction in the Burn Unit. I was dragged down I-75 age 12 and hit by a car 2 yrs later. Both uninsured motorists so I never got a dime. Phantom Limb pain for me is EXCRUCIATING. I'm almost out of money. I spent over 1400 days as an inpatient. I have an Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction where my body can't cool itself. Many disasters. The suffering has been unreal. I may have to end my life in 2 months 🎀🩷🎀

I was thinking that too ... i thought he is really ill😅
Thx😂 i spit out my sip of coffee ☕😂

Very well done. I had to look closely to realize this was a simulation.
you can tell right away when he's wheeled into the bay and the monitor already shows stats like there are leads hooked up lol

They had ice bags on you to bring your temp down.
The nurse that noticed things weren't right and called for help. Well trained to look out for problems.
Sorry but no. That nurse gave me major cringe vibes. Maybe bc it’s a simulation or something, but the way she was standing there and smiling and staying in the middle of things just seemed so off/wrong.

Thanks for the video! Gotta get geeked out on medical videos before bed ⚕️🛌
Lol I’m doing that now😂
I didn't even recognise that it was a sim until the PACU residnent arrived immediately.
LMFAO😂😂😂
😂😂 I was like, the PACU nurse just hang up, how did she just get there.

Yeah I have that app, it’s called Simpl patient monitor
That was intense. Amazing how they work together. Good on the 1st nurse for jumping right on that. Female bobbed hair.
MAN OH MAN!!! This is what you call TEAMWORK!!!!
No. This is what you call acting 😂

My heart would race just listening to them if I was laying there😅

Hello Roseoakes happy Sunday
Okay his temperature is elevated and is CO2 is 45 and tachycardic what more do you need to know.
How did the monitor show EtCO2, he was not intubated?
Family history of MH is usually a help to know
Several mistakes within the first 3 minutes. Nurse called and said he did fine in the back without any tachycardia and later says he only received 1L of LR and actually received half that. The senior resident then says IV Dilaudid x2. It’s good they start Dantrolene quickly.

Something called a "thyroid storm" or "thyrotoxic crisis" may mimic malignant hyperthermia.

No intubation--he's breathing on his own. Don't interrupt it. Assaulting him after surgery is unacceptable.
What are you talking about? Assault?
