I changed the object of "life-threatening" because it is not the trait itself that is dangerous, but the interaction with the anesthetic agents. Also, the incidence given is for events, not the presence of the trait. Osmodiar 11:18, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] hyperthermia
I added a description of the hypermetabolic state which comes between the initial release of calcium and the rhabdomyolisis. Hyperthermia is present about as frequently as rigidity, and its inclusion helps explain the name of this syndrome. Osmodiar 11:32, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Tidying
Have done a bit o' tidying and added a couple of things. The references should should be linked to the bottom reference list and when I get a moment I might come back and do that. Turning into a nice article. Well done on the work so far.Mmoneypenny 20:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
How about a line indicating the distinction from Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome? They are sometimes confused.Mfbabcock (talk) 21:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Presentation
Rigidity comes after hypermetabolic state. An episode detected by sky high end tidal CO2 can be aborted with treatment before any rigidity occurs. Mfbabcock 04:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lots of edits!
Several different users have started contributing to this article. Fantastic. I have asked the latest one (Gqaggie (talk · contribs)) whether Huntl2 (talk · contribs) and Dpwkbw (talk · contribs) are in any way personally or otherwise related. JFW | T@lk 21:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Guideline
Shortest guideline I have ever seen: AAGBI guideline for UK is one page (more an aide memoire) - http://www.aagbi.org/publications/guidelines/docs/malignanthyp07amended.pdf JFW | T@lk 16:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
