   Having recently reviewed an MH policy, some of the recommendations in your checklists have changed, specifically:
   – dantrolene dose is now 2.5mg/kg IV push repeated ~15minutely as necessary (I would expect at KI this would translate as “push it as fast as you can make it up until the patient is better or there’s none left”)
   – changing the circuit is no longer recommended due to time required – just turn off the volatile and turn up the 100% to ~15L/min
   Source: MH ANZ Resource Page (http://www.anaesthesia.mh.org.au/mh-resource-kit/w1/i1002692/), this is the MH protocol endorsed by ANZCA

   Christine, thanks for bringing this to my attention; have now updated the MH section. That MH ANZ webpage is an excellent example of taskcards and checklists for crisis management. Thanks again.
