The nursing assistant student was shadowing an anesthesiologist during a knee surgery where the patient was given Halothane. After two hours, the patient began showing signs of distress with an elevated temperature of 105°F, increased pulse of 120 bpm, and lowered blood pressure of 60/56 mmHg. This triggered the monitor alarms. The doctors quickly assessed the situation and it is possible the Halothane triggered a genetically predisposed condition in the patient.
