National insights on malignant hyperthermia: a SIAARTI survey on clinical practices, preparedness, and future directions
Our results highlight the need for broader standardization of MH management. Despite limitation in sample size and difference in geographical and hospital setting, the survey reveals a discrepancy between clinical practice and recommended strategies. Although the need for preventive measures as a mean to avoid episodes of MH is widely recognized, there continues to be too much ambiguity on what the exact protocol should be in these situations, leaving room to develop an unequivocal approach that allows the optimal treatment for episodes of MH.
