Anaesthesia for Endocrine Conditions
Anaesthesia for Endocrine Conditions
Thyroid disease appears to be the specific endocrine complaint most frequently examined, though the March 2018 SAQ featured a question on phaeochromocytoma & another on pituitary surgery.
Of course diabetes mellitus is the chief endocrine comorbidity; it has its own dedicated section.
- Pituitary disease
- Acromegaly
- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypothyroidism
- Adrenocortical disease
- Adrenal insufficiency and existing glucocorticoid therapy
- Phaeochromocytoma
- Carcinoid syndrome
