Will see this change in ETCO2 in a pt experiencing MH
What is increase
100
These agents should be avoided with MH susceptible patients
What is all halogenated volatile anesthetic agents (Desflurane, Enflurane, Ether, Halothane, Isoflurane Methoxyflurane, Sevoflurane) and depolorizing muscle relaxants succinylcholine,

When possible increase oxygen gas flow rate to this many L/min
What is 15 L/min
200
These are used to trap volatile anesthetics
What are charcoal filters
200
This is when you should call for help with a pt with MH
What is IMMEDIATELY
