#MalignantHyperthermia is often experienced in individuals undergoing, what was expected to be, routine #surgery but can also happen to a person outside of the operating room.
Malignant Hyperthermia is a #genetic disorder found in an estimated 1 out of 2,000 people. Once triggered, the rapid progressive series of chain events include a body #temperature of up to 107 degrees, #muscle rigidity, system-wide #organfailure, and possible death.
Introduction of a #treatment drug and advances in the understanding of MH have saved many lives since the #syndrome was first described in the 1960s.
There is mounting evidence that some patients will also develop MH with #exercise and/or on exposure to hot #environments.
Patients and Families are encouraged to document their health history and wear identification tags that can alert healthcare professionals to the disorder and work together with healthcare professionals in their community to build awareness about Malignant Hyperthermia.
