Malignant hyperthermia is a life-threatening, but treatable reaction to certain anesthesia medications. It's caused by an inherited gene mutation (change) that affects your muscles. If you have a biological parent or relative who has the mutation, you're at greater risk for experiencing malignant hyperthermia.
Perioperative nurses should perform MH risk assessments during routine preoperative interviews to identify patients at risk for MH crisis. Perioperative nurses must respond rapidly and ensure the cooperation of the OR team when dealing with MH.
Placing a fan to blow directly on the patient while also spraying or sponging will increase the rate of evaporation, and thereby, will more rapidly decrease body temperature. Another option is to submerge a sheet in cold water and then wring it out, and then wrap the patient in the damp sheet.
