You alone determine who should receive the document by entering an email address that you type in yourself and by pressing the send command afterwards.

Dr Henry Rosenberg (President of MHAUS) and Prof. Dr. Thierry Girard (Head of the Swiss MH Centre) have developed an application for iPhones and iPads that can be used to treat an acute intraoperative MH event.

In addition, all data and actions are logged.

SMHA
Swiss Malignant Hyperthermia Association
In June 1995 people affected by the malignant hyperthermia (MH) united and formed the Swiss Malignant Hyperthermia Association SMHA.
The more members our association has, the stronger we are and therefore, our ability to assert ourselves in order to speak for affected persons is bigger. Our goal is to efficiently inform the public about MH and create awareness. By means of this homepage we hope to make information more accessible for affected persons as well as anaesthetists.
