A rapid rise of temperature to dangerous levels known as malignant hyperthermia may be precipitated by general anaesthesia but the condition is rare (1 : 50,000 operations) and is usually inherited. The anaesthetic is stopped and icepacks are used to cool the patient. Pure oxygen and intravenous sodium choride are also administered.Body temperature elevated above the normal range; an unusually high fever.Hyperthermia is a life-threatening condition in which the body temperature rises to a dangerously high level.An increase in body temperature not caused by an infection."}
