Table 1

Body temperature and arterial blood gas analysis before and after surgery.

	16 min after induction	End of surgery	60 min after surgery	32 min after dantrolene^i	5 h after dantrolene^i
Body temperature (°C)	37.9	38.1	40.5	39.2	37.9
pH			7.27	7.32	7.41
PaCO2 (mmHg)			48.0	44.0	40.0

iDantrolene (70 mg) was administered intravenously once malignant hyperthermia was suspected.
