Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Malignant hyperthermia

Malignant hyperthermia is characterized by a rapid increase in temperature to 39-42 degrees C in response to inhalational anesthetics such as halothane or to muscle relaxants such as succinylcholine.
