    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a severe hypermetabolic crisis triggered by specific anesthetic agents.
    • Understanding the history and incidence of MH is crucial for patient safety.
    • Current concepts of MH etiology are still evolving.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a concise review of malignant hyperthermia.
    • To discuss the historical context, incidence, and current understanding of MH etiology.
    • To outline diagnostic and management protocols for MH.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of malignant hyperthermia.
    • Synthesis of historical data, incidence rates, and etiological concepts.
    • Compilation of current diagnostic and treatment guidelines.
