利益声明

LM declares that she has no competing interests. BWB has been reimbursed by the not-for-profit sponsor of the North American MH Registry (NAMHR), the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) for attending meetings related to the management of the NAMHR. For the past 16 years, BWB received grants from MHAUS to maintain the NAMHR. BWB was the unpaid director of the NAMHR, until Jul 2016. BWB has given lectures and prepared educational materials for her previous employer, the Department of Anesthesiology in the University of Pittsburgh. As of 1 July, 2016, BWB retired from that employment. BWB has published papers and prepared educational materials for MHAUS, with the help of other volunteers for MHAUS. BWB sponsored LM for an award granted by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. This award allowed LM to travel to several medical centers that were active in the diagnosis of MH, as well as to the NAMHR to improve her understanding of this syndrome. This is part of BWB's mentoring of younger anesthesiologists. BWB is also an author of a number of references cited in this topic.
