Abstract
CK concentrations in the major surgery group were significantly higher than the minor surgery group. This profile can contribute to the evaluation of patients who present with the possibility of malignant hyperthermia, anaesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis and underlying muscle disease. Any rise of CK concentration above what is expected should prompt further investigation.
