Phaeochromocytoma and severe protracted postoperative hypoglycaemia.
A phaeochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting tumour of the adrenal medullary cells of chromaffin origin. Approximately half of these patients are hyperglycaemic, t and nearly 50 per cent require insulin. 2 The management of phaeochromocytoma is by surgical excision of the tumour. The major intraoperative complications are severe hypertension, arrythmias and hypotension following removal. 3 ...
متن کاملHypoglycaemia, hypothermia and shivering in man.
1. The present experiments were designed to elucidate the reasons for the fall in central body temperature during hypoglycaemia. 2. The first experiment was carried out at a room temperature of 25 degrees C on 11 male subjects. Hypoglycaemia was induced by infusion of insulin. Heat production (calculated from respiratory gas exchange) rose from a baseline of 5.10 +/- 0.13 kJ/min (mean +/- SEM) ...
متن کاملEffect of Dexamethasone Before Induction of Anesthesia On Postoperative Shivering
Abstract Shivering after surgery is common and followed by many problems. Therefore prevention of shivering is important specially in elderly and Ischemic Heart Disease patients. The etiology of shivering is unknown, although is thought intraoperative hypothermia is a major causative factor. Another possible etiology is fever and chills secondary to activation of the inflammatory responses and...
متن کاملIndependent risk factors for postoperative shivering.
Postoperative shivering (PAS) is uncomfortable for patients and potentially risky. In this observational trial we sought to identify independent risk factors for PAS after general anesthesia. Potential risk factors for PAS were recorded in 1340 consecutive patients. Signs of shivering, peripheral and core temperature, and thermal comfort were recorded in the postanesthetic care unit. The data w...
متن کاملOndansetron and meperidine prevent postoperative shivering after general anesthesia.

The aim of this study was to examine the preventive effects of Ondansetron and Meperidine on postoperative shivering. METHODS This randomized placebo-controlled double blind clinical trial included 90 patients scheduled for elective gynecologic operations, rand...
