AB  - Malignant  hyperthermia  (MH)  is  a  rare  and  potentially  life-threatening  disorder  of  skeletal  muscle  metabolism  that  is  typically  triggered  by  halogenated  volatile  anesthetics  and  depolarizing  muscle  relaxants  in  susceptible  patients.  In  rare  cases,  MH  is  triggered  by  strenuous  factors,  such  as  extreme  heat  or  other  exercise.  Since  MH  can  occur  rapidly  and  with  fatal  consequences,  it  is  essential  that  all  staff—particularly  anesthesiologists—in  facilities  that  administer  MH-triggering  anesthesia  is  sufficiently  trained  to  treat  susceptible  patients.
