Screening people who may be prone to malignant hyperthermia
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had a dangerous anesthesia reaction called malignant hyperthermia during or after surgery. It may help teams figure out who might be at risk in the future so they can take safer steps next time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be having surgery under general anesthesia during the study time period
- During or after that surgery, you developed malignant hyperthermia
- Your treating team has not yet ruled out malignant hyperthermia as the cause
- The reaction was not later disproven by later diagnosis or treatment

This study tests whether carefully controlling body temperature during and after cancer surgery can help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after the operation. If you are 65 or older and having a longer cancer surgery, this may be a good option to discuss with your doctor.
This study tests whether carefully managing your body temperature during surgery and heated chemotherapy can help prevent confusion (delirium) after the operation. It may help you recover more clearly after your treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei.
This study tests whether a temperature management system can safely raise your body temperature to fever levels in a controlled medical setting. Researchers want to understand how your body responds and ensure the procedure is safe for future use.
This trial tests whether carefully managing a patient's body temperature during cancer surgery can reduce the risk of postoperative delirium and improve long-term survival. It is for older adults undergoing major cancer surgery.
This study tests how well emergency room protocols work for treating high body temperature. It is for healthy people who are not taking certain medications or supplements that affect how the body handles heat.
This study collects information from cancer patients receiving hyperthermia treatment, which uses heat to help fight cancer. It helps doctors learn more about how well hyperthermia works and how safe it is.
