Aim: This manuscript describes implementation of clinical decision support for providers concerned with perioperative complications of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. Materials & methods: Clinical decision support for malignant hyperthermia susceptibilit was implemented in 2018 based around our preemptive genotyping platform. We completed a brief descriptive review of patients who underwent preemptive testing, focused particularly on RYR1 and CACNA1S genes. Results: To date, we have completed preemptive genetic testing on more than 10,000 patients; 13 patients having been identified as a carrier of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant of RYR1 or CACNA1S. Conclusion: An alert system for malignant hyperthermia susceptibilit – as an extension of our preemptive genomics platform – was implemented successfully. Implementation strategies and lessons learned are discussed herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
