When calling the MH Hotline what information should we have ready first?
Posted By Administration, Friday, June 6, 2014

Answer:

Information that is helpful at the beginning of a call is a short synopsis of why the caller is calling and a description of the patient (i.e., is the call about a patient who is having a suspected MH event intraoperatively?). Also helpful:
  1. anesthetic agents administered (especially any triggering agents); 
  2. vital signs, temp, ETCO2; 
  3. lab results and labs that are pending (especially ABG, K, and CK); 
  4. whether dantrolene has been given and the dosage; 
  5. whether or not an urinary catheter is in place and the color and quantity of urine output.
