On the Cover
You'll hopefully never face a
malignant hyperthermia crisis,
but there's always the chance
that you'll need to act quickly
and effectively when stress lev-
els rise along with your
patient's body temperature.

CNOR, and her colleagues at
UNC REX Hospital in Raleigh,
N.C., are ready to respond
thanks to well-stocked MH
carts and plenty of realistic
drills.
