Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a technique used in combination with cytoreductive surgery to treat various cancers with local spread and not fully resectable. Anaesthetic complications are common during this procedure with disturbances in haemodynamics, coagulation, respiratory gas exchange and impact on various body systems. Sudden increase in temperature may be related to occurrence of Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) and remains a challenge requiring immediate recognition and aggressive management. We hereby report a case of hyperthermia in a patient posted for cytoreduction and HIPEC surgery emphasizing that a prompt identification; rational symptomatic and supportive therapy can be lifesaving.
