March is Malignant Hyperthermia Awareness and Training Month

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare, inherited disorder that can affect patients who are receiving anesthesia for surgery or other procedures. Being prepared is paramount for patient safety. Is your facility ready? Do you have a plan in place? Do you conduct routine mock drills or provide staff education?
