Robbie Roper… was having surgery on non throwing shoulder and he had a reaction to the anesthesia and currently fighting for his life now. Several people and his coach has released a little info about the situation but apparently gonna take him off life support today.

So dang said. He was I think ready to commit to UF soon. Prayers to him and his family.
 
That's terrible.

I wondered how common this might be and found this. Hopefully, they were able to start corrective treatment soon enough.

Severe reactions to anesthesia, fortunately, are extremely rare. You may be concerned, in particular, with a severe, sometimes fatal, reaction to anesthetics called malignant hyperthermia. It usually occurs during or after surgery, but it can occur whenever anesthetic drugs are used. This includes emergency rooms, dental offices and intensive care units.

Malignant hyperthermia is caused by a rare muscle abnormality. In this inherited condition, muscle cells have an abnormal protein on their surfaces. The protein does not greatly affect muscle function. As a result, many people are unaware of this abnormality.

However, when certain general anesthetic drugs interact with the abnormal protein on the muscle cells, they cause the muscles to contract forcefully and to keep contracting. This sustained muscle contraction generates a lot of heat.

As a result, the following symptoms develop:

  • a dramatic rise in body temperature
  • rigid or painful muscles
  • flushed skin
  • sweating
  • rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • rapid or uncomfortable breathing
  • brown- or cola-colored urine (from a brown-colored protein in damaged muscle cells)
  • very low blood pressure (shock)
  • confusion
Symptoms usually occur within the first hour after exposure to the trigger medication. As soon as malignant hyperthermia is suspected, doctors must act quickly. They should immediately stop giving the trigger medication and stop the surgery. Doctors then give the drug dantrolene (Dantrium). Dantrolene relaxes the muscles and stops the dangerous increase in muscle metabolism.

With prompt treatment, symptoms should resolve within 24 hours. However, if a severe reaction develops before treatment begins, complications may develop. These can include respiratory or kidney failure.
 
Greetings Roswell Faculty and Staff,
You may have heard, or seen online, that Roswell senior Robbie Roper is in critical condition in a hospital in Florida.

Over the weekend, Robbie became sick and vomited while vacationing with family. After going to the ER and a series of tests, he was life-flighted to the University of Florida hospital where it was determined that his body is not clearing ammonia from his blood and it has risen to toxic levels. This has resulted in a very serious, life threatening situation.

Mr. Roper has agreed to me sharing this information and has asked for prayers as Robbie continues to fight. I know the entire community has Robbie and his family in their thoughts and prayers. I will share more information as it becomes available.

Thanks.

Robert
