Welcome

Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited muscle disorder which, when triggered by potent inhalation anesthetics and succinylcholine, may cause a life-threatening crisis. The incidence of MH is low, but, if untreated, the mortality rate is high. Since the advent of the antidote drug and with greater awareness of the syndrome, the mortality rate has decreased. Great advances in our understanding of MH have been made since it was first recognized in the early 1960s, but the nature of the fundamental defect(s) is still unknown— so if your mother or father has it, you have a 50:50 chance of inheriting it.

MHAUS advocates that all surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia should receive continuous temperature monitoring, that adequate supplies of the antidote be stocked near the operating room and that through family histories be obtained.
