  • Title: Thyroid storm during beta blockade.
    Author: Strube PJ.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1984 Apr; 39(4):343-6. PubMed ID: 6711783.
    Abstract:
    A thyrotoxic patient who had received beta-adrenoceptor blockers pre-operatively suffered an episode of severe heart failure immediately following thyroidectomy and required artificial ventilation of the lungs for six hours. The possible causes are discussed and the likelihood of thyroid storm unmitigated by beta adrenergic blockade suggested.
