Three year old male presents for BMT, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for treatment of recurrent ear infections and URIs. He finished a round of zithromax 2 days ago and was noted by parents to have a temp of 103.5 three days ago. His current temp is 99.5 with clear lung fields and no productive cough or any other evidence of URI.
His past medical history is otherwise unremarkable. His family history is positive for a grandfather who had documented malignant hyperthermia 15 years ago. Grandfather on the other side of the family is a physician who happens to be president of a major medical organization in your state.
Describe how you would approach the anesthetic management of this patient.
