9. Prevention
As things stand, there is no known way to prevent malignant hyperthermia susceptibility from happening. You can, however, take certain steps to help keep you safe from the condition. People should take extra care if there is a history of the condition in the family, whether confirmed or suspected.
An examination of the patient’s genes can help to reveal whether or not they have the condition. This is very beneficial because it means they can avoid certain drugs that are likely to trigger malignant hyperthermia. You should always speak with a doctor about any suspected condition that might cause a reaction before any medication is used.
