Acute hepatic failure due to ischemic hepatitis is associated with high mortality. The safety of cardiopulmonary bypass in this setting is not fully described. Here we report a case of a 21-year-old female who developed an acute fulminant hepatic failure due to ischemic hepatitis following a cardiogenic shock. She underwent subsequent successful mitral valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass, thus providing an evidence of its safety in acute fulminant hepatic failure.

Beta (β)-thalassemia is a blood disorder with an incidence of 1 in 100,000.1 This case report outlines a patient with β-thalassemia requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the measures taken to ensure an uneventful procedure.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder encountered during general anesthesia. The use of cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery can obscure many of the cardinal signs and symptoms of MH. The development of postoperative MH following cardiac surgery is rare, but anesthesiologists and intensivists must maintain a high index of suspicion in order to make a prompt diagnosis. Initiation and tailored maintenance of MH therapy must also consider the complex physiologic changes of patients in the immediate post–cardiac surgery period. In this article, we present a case of the development of postoperative MH in the cardiac intensive care unit after elective open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
