In health care, we often see strong clinicians who evolve into leadership positions, but most of them tend to become managers rather than true leaders. In order to be a good leader, you have to engage in a lot of self-introspection so you understand your strengths and goals as an individual, as well as the strengths and goals of each of the members of the team. This will help to build trust, which is largely a self-learning process: learning to listen; learn- ing to understand others; learning to engage in meaningful conflict; and learning how to become a coach so people can develop the skills they need to succeed. • Let the garden weed itself.

These measures must be individualized, but it will usually be necessary to discontinue the suspect triggering agents, attend to increased oxygen requirements, manage the metabolic acidosis, institute cooling when necessary, monitor urinary output, and monitor for electrolyte imbalance. Patients who receive i.v. dantrolene sodium preoperatively should have vital signs monitored. If patients judged malignant hype If patients judged malignant hyperthermia susceptible are administered dantrolene sodium preoperatively, anesthetic preparation must still follow a standard malignant hyperthermia susceptible regimen, including the avoidance of known triggering agents. Monitoring for early clinical and metabolic signs of malignant hyperthermia is indicated because attenuation of malignant hyperthermia, rather than prevention, is possible. Despite initial satisfacto Despite initial satisfactory response to i.v. dantrolene there have been reports of fatality, which involve patients who could not be weaned from dantrolene after initial treatment. The administration of i.v. dantrolene is associated with loss of grip strength and weakness in the legs, as well as drowsiness and dizziness. There have been reports of thrombophlebitis following administration of intravenous dantrolene. Tissue necrosis secondary to extravasation has been reported. Injection site reactions (pain, erythema, swelling), commonly due to extravasation, have been reported. Fatal and non-fatal liver disorders of an idiosyncratic or hypersensitivity type may occur with dantrolene sodium therap liver disorders of an idiosyncratic or hypersensitivity type may occur with dantrolene sodium therapy.
