Her heart rate increases to 160 beats per minute and her systolic blood pressure is measured at 180 mmHg. Additionally, the patient displays signs of muscle rigidity in her limbs. Prior to the surgery, her pre-anesthetic evaluation was unremarkable, and there is no known family history of neuromuscular disease or complications during surgery or anesthesia. The patient was induced with propofol and suxamethonium.
