## What is MHApp?

Finally it’s back! The much appreciated MHApp is finally back in the AppStore. Rewritten from ground up in Swift. A modern user interface.

And the best is: it is free of charge!

Please note: MHApp is not a substitute for medical advice. MHApp is intended for educational purposes only. The purpose of this app is to use it to train and teach yourself in management of malignant hyperthermia. It might serve as a valuable tool in simulated MH scenarios.

Do you know what to do in case of a malignant hyperthermia crisis?
Are you sure somebody will take a detailed protocol during your actions?

MHApp does both for you:
MHApp is like an interactive MH-emercency poster. Simulating an MH crisis and teaching the acute management will certainly be of great value in case of a real crisis.
MHApp will guide you through a simulated malignant hyperthermia (MH) crisis.  The App includes treatment of acidosis, hyperkalemia and dosing of dantrolene or ryanodex
Every action and injected dantrolene doses are recorded in a log file, which can be exported.

The clinical grading score (CGS) estimates the probability of an MH episode. The result can be exported as PDF.

A section with information about MH, anesthesia for the known MH patients, preparation of anesthesia workstations, MH-mutations and more.

This app was developed by international experts in Malignant Hyperthermia:
Dr. Henry Rosenberg (President of MHAUS)
Prof. Thierry Girard (director of the Swiss MH unit)

MHApp is endorsed by the North American MH Group (www.mhaus.org), as well as by the European MH Group (www.emhg.org).

Programmed by 
Thierry Girard, Girard Development GmbH

### 5/5 — Used to treat case of MH

*2016-08-01*

On Friday I had my first case of MH intraoperatively.  This App was a lifesaver, literally.  When I called the MH hotline, they informed me I had already done everything I needed to do to treat my patient.  Strongly recommend you buy this app.

### 2/5 — Crashes constantly

*2016-02-18*

Crashes in multiple parts of the app and won't store the MH phone number in settings.

### 3/5 — Nice idea. Needs work

*2014-12-01*

Nice idea. Hyperlinks return error messages. Buggy. Needs work.

### 5/5 — Must Have APP!

*2013-07-17*

Excellent. I hope never having a MH pacient, but in this case I  am pretty sure this app will be extremely helpful!

### 5/5 — Great anesthesia resource!

*2012-06-11*

Perfect resource for any anesthesia provider to have on hand in the event of a rare but life-threatening MH event. Even creates a time logged series of events that can be saved and emailed to the MH registry.

### 5/5 — Anesth

*2012-05-10*

Very useful app, extremely reasonable price for the provided info.

### 2/5 — Not impressed.

*2012-04-20*

High price. Poor user interface. 

Just my two cents. 

-cardiac anesthesiologist.

### 3/5 — Not Free !

*2011-12-29*

This software was listed as "free" but my credit card has been charged !!!

"Buyer" beware !

### 5/5 — The One and only

*2011-11-05*

It's really a good App. Well Done. If you've got a mh suspect it's the Solution to be calm.and u've got a Documentation Tool Inside...really Useful...

### 5/5 — Sinnvolle App für Anästhesisten

*2011-01-19*

Im Falle einer Malignen Hyperthermie muss der Patient unverzüglich nach den aktuellen Guidelines therapiert werden, um schwerwiegende Schäden abzuwenden. Aber wer hat schon die aktuellen Empfehlungen und Dosierungen im Kopf? Diese App. beinhaltet einen übersichtlichen Therapiealgorithmus und optimiert damit das Vorgehen im Rahmen einer Malignen Hyperthermie. Ich halte diese App daher für äußerst sinnvoll! 

Der Preis von 3,99€ ist gerechtfertigt und kommt außerdem der weiteren MH-Erforschung zugute!
