The sudden unexpected death of a healthy individual undergoing minor surgery is a tragedy almost beyond comprehension in this day of modern medical miracles. Yet this still happens to patients susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH). Even when treated properly, the syndrome known as the MH crisis can cause death. Survivors might be left with brain damage, failed kidneys, muscle damage or impaired function of other major organs. Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States promotes optimum care and scientific understanding of MH and related disorders through education, research, and services for patients, families, and healthcare professionals.
