Ortho surgeons must be lining up for a full Saturday of elective joint replacements. “We can’t let it go to waste!”

Unfortunately in my experience it has also meant it’s the smell of emboli, severe hypoxia, hypotension and right heart.

That's about as rare as rare can be. I've seen more cases of MH than significant methyl methacrylate reactions.

Maybe his surgeons are in a rush and don’t wait for the cement to polymerize and putty up.

I wish it wasn’t the case. Had one with some mild hypoxia and hypotension that eventually recovered by the end of the case. Unfortunately the other case was a severe reaction and it did not go well. Bone cement + lousy bone + pressurized injection = badness.
