MHAUS

Welcome to the Medical Professionals’ area of the MHAUS Website. 

 

To help with the recognition and treatment of MH, we offer information on MH crisis management, MH testing options, Frequently Asked Questions, share MH presentations developed by some of the top MH experts, multiple podcasts on various aspects of MH, reference materials and a “Case of the Month” section to offer challenges regarding your personal knowledge of MH.

 

Although malignant hyperthermia (MH) is not a well-known disorder, any practitioner who has ever dealt with a case of MH will understand the need for the MH educational materials we provide.  For a medical professional to see a patient’s physiology deteriorate over minutes due to MH must be one of the most frightening and potentially devastating events experienced in his/her career.

Help is just a phone call away via our volunteer MH hotline consultants who are ready to offer insight and suggestions on the treatment regimen for MH should you find yourself facing a possible MH event.  MHAUS offers this service free of charge as an important tool to help you keep your patients safe and well.
