MH full form in medical is Malignant Hyperthermia. It’s a rare but serious condition that can happen during or after surgery. It’s caused by certain drugs used during surgery to relax your muscles and help with the pain. But here’s the catch: some people have a genetic mutation that makes them more sensitive to these drugs. So when they’re given these drugs during surgery, their body temperature and heart rate can suddenly go haywire. This can lead to muscle breakdown, kidney failure, and even death if not treated quickly.
However, there’s good news too! If Malignant Hyperthermia is suspected early, there are medications that can reverse the effects of the muscle relaxants and help lower the patient’s body temperature. Plus, if you have a family history of MH or have had a reaction to these drugs before, letting your doctor know before surgery can help prevent MH from occurring. So while MH is a rare and serious condition, with the right precautions and treatments, it can be managed and avoided. Before going under the surgery, just be sure to let your doctor know about any potential risk factors that you have encountered sometime in the past.
