A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients who experienced malignant hyperthermia during or after surgery under general anesthesia. It aims to collect genetic specimens from these patients and their family members to analyze mutations related to malignant hyperthermia. The study anticipates enrolling approximately 50 participants nationwide, with 1-5 patients from Peking University Third Hospital. The goal is to better understand the genetic factors contributing to this rare condition.
