Enflurane induces contracture of in vitro muscle from a patient with malignant hyperthermia.

The possibility of enflurane being an inducer of malignant hyperthermia (MH) was examined by using the contracture test in in vitro muscle from a patient with MH. An administration of 2% enflurane elicited contracture in MH muscle and an elimination of enflurane relaxed this contracture. This result, therefore, strongly suggested that enflurane is the one of the trigger-agents for MH.
