Propranolol in thyrotoxicosis. Cardiovascular changes during thyroidectomy in patients pre-treated with propranolol. 1978

A J Trench, and F P Buckley, and G B Drummond, and G R Arthur, and D B Scott

The cardiovascular changes during anaesthesia and thyroidectomy have been studied in seven thyrotoxic patients prepared with propranolol. The heart rate and cardiac rhythm remained very stable throughout surgery. A 20% increase in mean arterial pressure occurred during surgical stimulation. A decrease in cardiac output, due to decreased stroke volume, occurred during surgical stimulation. A decrease in cardiac output, due to decreased stroke volume, occurred during surgery, reaching a maximum of 21% during ligation of the thyroid vessels and returning to pre-operative values by the end of surgery. The fall in cardiac output was accompanied by raised central venous pressure and raised total peripheral resistance.
