Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS)

The Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing information, support, and resources about malignant hyperthermia (MH), a rare but potentially life-threatening reaction triggered by certain anesthesia medications. MH causes a sudden increase in body temperature and muscle rigidity, which can lead to severe complications if not treated promptly. MHAUS offers education to healthcare professionals, supports affected individuals and families, maintains a registry of MH cases, and promotes research to improve diagnosis and treatment of this genetic condition.
