Rapid cyclic fluctuations of blood pressure associated with treatment of pheochromocytoma by labetalol.

چکیده
Rapid cyclic fluctuations of blood pressure in patients with a pheochromocytoma have rarely been reported. The suitable conditions to induce this phenomenon are not adequately known. We report here a patient with an adrenal pheochromocytoma who showed this phenomenon after oral administration of labetalol.

Rapid cyclic fluctuations of blood pressure associated with an adrenal pheochromocytoma.
We present a patient with an adrenal pheochromocytoma with an unusual pattern of periodic alternating hypertension and hypotension. Alpha-adrenergic blockade alone failed to affect this pattern, which was abolished only after fluid repletion. The efficacy of volume expansion in ultimately correcting the wide fluctuations of blood pressure implicates a possible reflex neurogenic mechanism for th...
متن کاملLabetalol pretreatment reduces blood pressure instability during surgical resection of pheochromocytoma.
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of pretreatment with the mixed alpha- and beta-adrenergic blocker, labetalol, on blood pressure instability during surgical resection of pheochromocytoma. METHODS Blood pressure stability and surgical results were compared between patients in the saline (n = 11) and labetalol (n = 15) groups. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, sodium thiopental and atracur...
متن کاملHyperadrenergic syndrome in severe tetanus: extreme rise in catecholamines responsive to labetalol.
The hyperadrenergic syndrome that occurs in tetanus is characterised by hypertension, tachycardia, and increased systemic arteriolar resistance. A 74 year old man with tetanus was found to have very high catecholamine concentrations--as high as those in phaeochromocytoma--and the fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate were measured to see whether they paralleled changes in the catecholam...

Background and Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is caused by bleeding within brain parenchyma and the formation of regional hematoma. In this study, we compared the effects of trinitroglycerin (TNG) and labetalol in controlling arterial hypertension in patients with ICH admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Imam Hospital in Urmia city, Iran. Materials and Methods: We selected 5...
