Abstract
We have compared and contrasted two diagnostic tests for Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) -the Caffeine-Halothane Contracture Test and the Caffeine Skinned Fibre Tension Test. Both tests show a strongly positive relationship both with the occurrence of MH reactions and with each other. The former test is more rapid and requires less skill. The latter test can be performed on much less muscle and permits storage of the muscle over prolonged periods of time. Nous avons comparé deux épreuves diagnostiques pour rhyperthermie maligne (MH) - le test de contracture caféïne sur fibres dépouillées. Les deux tests ont montré une relation fortement positive entre eux et avec 1’incidence de réactions causées par rhyperthermie maligne. Le premier test est plus rapide et plus facilement realisable. Cette derniàre épreuve néessite moins de muscle et permet le storage du spécimen pour des périodes de temps prolongées.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
