INTRODUCTION
• Thyrotoxicosis is defined as the state of thyroid hormone excess.
• Hyperthyroidism is the result of excessive thyroid function.
• The most common cause of hyperthyroidism being – Grave`s Disease.

GRAVES' DISEASEEpidemiology
• Its an hyper-metabolic state
• Accounts for 60–80% of thyrotoxicosis.
• Occurs in up to 2% of women but is 1/10 as frequent in men.
• Typically occurs between 20-50 years of age, but it also occurs in the elderly.
![Page 5: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Clinical Manifestations
• The clinical presentation depends on-Severity of thyrotoxicosis, Duration of disease, Individual susceptibility to excess thyroid hormone
and Patient's age.
• In the elderly, features of thyrotoxicosis may be subtle or masked, and patients may present mainly with fatigue and weight loss, a condition known as apathetic thyrotoxicosis.

Eye signs & symptoms
• Lid retraction staring appearance sympathetic overactivity.
• Associated with specific eye signs that comprise Graves' ophthalmopathy.
• This condition is also called thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
![Page 17: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
• The earliest manifestations of ophthalmopathy are usually a sensation of grittiness, eye discomfort & excess tearing.
• About 1/3 pts have proptosis,
![Page 18: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
• Periorbital edema, scleral injection, & chemosis are also frequent.
• In 5–10% of patients, the muscle swelling is so severe that diplopia results.
• Most serious manifestation compression of the optic nerve at the apex of the orbit, leading to papilledema, peripheral field defects, & if left untreated, permanent loss of vision.
![Page 19: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
The "NO SPECS" scheme is an acronym derived from the following eye changes:
• 0 = No signs or symptoms • 1 = Only signs (lid retraction or lag), no symptoms • 2 = Soft tissue involvement (periorbital edema) • 3 = Proptosis (>22 mm) • 4 = Extraocular muscle involvement (diplopia) • 5 = Corneal involvement • 6 = Sight loss
![Page 20: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Toxic Multinodular GoiterEtiology and Pathogenesis
• MNG occurs in up to 12% of adults.
• More common in women than men and increases in prevalence with age.
• It is more common in iodine-deficient regions
![Page 21: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Hyperfunctioning Solitary Nodule• A solitary, autonomously functioning thyroid
nodule Toxic Adenoma.
• Thyrotoxicosis is usually mild.
• Suggested by the presence of the palpable thyroid nodule & by the absence of clinical features suggestive of Graves' disease or other causes of thyrotoxicosis.
![Page 22: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Laboratory Evaluation
• Normal thyroid function tests
TESTS NORMAL VALUES
TSH >0.4-5.0 mU/L
TOTAL T4 5.0-12.0 μg/dl
TOTAL T3 70-195 ng/dl
![Page 24: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
TSH Assay single best test of Thyroid Hormone action at cellular level.
• Normal level 0.4-5.0 mU/L.• Subclinical hyperthyroidism TSH level is 0.1-
0.4mU/L with normal FT3 & FT4.• Overt hyperthyroidism TSH level is <0.03mU/L
with increased T3 & T4.• Thyroid Storm TSH level is <0.01mU/L.
Free T4 (FT4) approx 0.02% of total T4.• Elevated in 90% of patients with hyperthyroidism.• Decreased in 85% of patients with hypothyroidism.
![Page 25: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
T3 resin uptake test (RT3U) • Indirect measure of unbound fraction of T4.• It quantitates the degree of saturation of TBG sites by T3
& T4.• It is directly proportional to FT4 & inversely proportional
to TBG sites.
FT4 index = T4 x RT3U. Normal value- 1.4-4.9
In 2–5% of patients, only T3 is increased (T3 toxicosis).
The converse state of T4 toxicosis hyperthyroidism is induced by excess iodine.
![Page 26: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Radioactive iodine uptake I123, I131 & Tc99
• Varies directly with functional state of thyroid.• 24 hr thyroid uptake is measured.• Normal value range – 10-25%• Used to confirm Hyperthyroidism.
![Page 27: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
• TRH stimulation test used to test pituitary function.
• Measurement of TPO antibodies is useful in differential diagnosis.
• Measurement of TBII or TSI will confirm the diagnosis but is not needed routinely.
![Page 28: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

29
• Ultrasonography to differentiate between cystic, mixed or solid lesion in gland.
• Thyroid scan using I123 or Tc99 evaluate nodules as Warm/ NormalHot/ Hyperfunctioning.Cold/ Hypofunctioning.
![Page 30: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
In Toxic Multinodular Goiter • The TSH level is low.
• The T4 level may be normal
or minimally increased;
• T3 is often elevated to
a greater degree than T4.
• Thyroid scan shows heterogeneous uptake with multiple regions of increased and decreased uptake;
• 24-h uptake of radioiodine may not be increased
![Page 31: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
In Toxic Adenoma
• A thyroid scan provides a definitive diagnostic test.
• Focal uptake in the hyperfunctioning nodule and diminished uptake in the remainder of the gland, as activity of the normal thyroid is suppressed.

62
When airway problem is anticipated
• Awake/fibreoptic intubation can be done with local anaesthesia.
• Intubation with gentle laryngoscopy is done with cuffed armored tube/ cuffed ETT/north pole oral tracheal tube or intubating LMA with fiber optic bronchoscopy guidance.
![Page 63: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
• Patient is positioned with sand bag between the shoulder blades and the head resting on a padded horse shoe or whit lock head rest.
• Avoid hyperextension.
• 20°-25° head up tilt to aid venous drainage & to decrease BP.
• Arms should be secured by the side
![Page 64: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
4. Maintenance of Anaesthesia :
• Controlled ventilation is used with N20 + 02 + NDMR + inhalation agents + incremental doses of opioids.
NDMR :• Inj. Vecuronium 0.05 mg/kg or • Ini. Atracurium 0.3 - 0.4 mg/kg or • Inj. Rocuronium 0.3 - 0.4 mg/kg.
![Page 65: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
• Already existing myopathy may prolong N-M blockade.
• Associated myosthenia gravis emphasize the need to reduce initial dose of muscle relaxation.
• Use of a peripheral nerve stimulator to monitor N-M blockade.
• Isoflurane is preferred to halothane.
![Page 66: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Thyroid storm
• Is a life threatening emergency
• Characterized by sudden appearance of clinical signs of hyperthyroidism due to the abrupt release of T4 and T3 into circulation.
• Mortality is as high as 25% to 30%.
• Commonly associated with Grave's disease.
![Page 71: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
Predisposing conditions:
• Medical factors :• Infection• Fever• Uncontrolled toxicity• Irregular drug intake• Pregnancy, toxemia of pregnancy• Radio iodine therapy• DKA.
![Page 72: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
Surgical factors:
• Anxious and nervous patient before surgery,
• Too much handling of gland just before surgery.
This can occur both intraoperative or in the immediate post operative period, but the latter is more common between 6-18 hours post operatively.
![Page 73: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
73
Clinical features :
• Hyperthermia: rise of 2°C/hr over normal temperature
• Tachycardia: arrhythmias commonly atrial fibrillation
• Initially flushing and sweating later leading to dehydration
![Page 74: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
74
• CCF - initially high output failure, Later may go for Low output failure.
• Shock - cardiogenic/hypovolemic
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Hypo/hyperglycemia may also be present.
• Marked anxiety, agitation, psychosis.
![Page 75: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

76
Treatment General measures :
• Stop manipulation
• Increase the FiO2 to 100%.
• Cooling measures : surface cooling - sponging, ice packs, decrease OT temperatures. Cold IV fluid
• Establishment of an indwelling arterial line to follow metabolic derangements and also to aid in diagnosis.
• Treat the precipitating cause.
![Page 77: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
Suppression of hormonal activity :
• Propylthiouracil - 600mg loading dose and 200-300mg every 6th hour given through NGT.
OR• Carbimazole ->50-100 mg through NGT followed by 20mg
6th hrly.
• Iodine as sodium iodide 1gm over 24 hours IV or enterally as potassium iodide 100-200mg every 8th hourly
• X-ray contrast agent sodium ipodate 1gm/day can also be used alternatively.
![Page 78: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
Suppression of sympathetic activity :
1) Propranolol 1-2 mg IVAntagonizes the peripheral effects of thyrotoxicosis and also inhibits peripheral conversion of T4.
2) Esmolol-> 100-300 g/kg/min
![Page 79: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
79
Treatment of shock and CCF :
• Digoxin Low out failure states.
• IV fluids should be given with reference to CVP line, otherwise overinfusion may further worsen CCF.
• IV fluids preferably to crystalloids containing glucose to supply enough energy for increased metabolism.
Supplementation of corticosteroids :
• Hydrocortisone 100- 200mg IV 8th hrly.
![Page 80: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
80
Air embolism
• Occurrence of air embolism is influenced by Volume of air (> 0.5ml/kg/min), Speed of injection, Pressure in veins, Posture and general conditions
• Tip of a venous catheter advanced into the thorax the negative intrathoracic pressures generated during spontaneous breathing drawing of air into the venous circulation venous air embolism.
![Page 81: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
81
Clinical Presentation
• Acute onset of dyspnea during procedure.
• Hypotension and cardiac arrest can develop rapidly.
• Air can pass across a patent foramen ovale obstruct cerebral circulation acute ischemic stroke.
• A characteristic “mill wheel” murmur can be heard over the right heart, but this murmur may be fleeting.
![Page 82: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
82
Therapeutic Maneuvers• A syringe attached to the hub of the catheter (to
prevent any further air entry), & attempt should be made to aspirate air through the indwelling catheter.
• The patient, placed with the left side down
• In dire circumstances, a needle inserted through the anterior chest wall into the right ventricle to aspirate the air.
• Unfortunately, in severe cases mortality is high despite any of the suggested therapeutic maneuvers.
![Page 83: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
83
Nerve palsy3 types of nerve injuries can occur – Neuropraxia– Axonotemesis– Neurotemesis
Unilateral Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy
Pt may present with
• In INCOMPLETE palsy – only abductors are paralysed, – Vocal cord assumes median position. – Voice is unaffected & – Pt remains asymptomatic.
![Page 84: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
84
• In COMPLETE palsy
– both abductors & adductors are paralysed, – vocal cord assumes paramedian position, – hoarseness of voice present, – possibility of voice returning to normal if other
cord compensates by crossing midline for closing glottis during phonation
![Page 85: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
85
Treatment • Specific treatment for cause.• If Asymptomatic no treatment.• Hoarseness
• Speech therapy• Teflon paste• Implantation of cartilage• Arytenoidopexy• Thyroplasty
• These procedures are attempted if paralysis has persisted for more than 9-12 mts.
![Page 86: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
86
Bilateral Recurrent Laryngeal Palsy
• Both vocal cords assume median/paramedian position.
• Severe inspiratory dyspnea with stridor may result if paralysis is sudden in onset
![Page 87: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
87
Treatment
• Specific treatment for cause.• Intubation due to severe inspiratory stridor, replaced by tracheostomy within 2wks prevent laryngeal stenosis.
• Tracheostomy• Arytenoidectomy• Nerve –muscle transplantation.
![Page 88: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
88
Hypoparathyroidism• Rare cause 0.5%
• Mainly due to vascular spasm of parathyroid glands & rarely due to accidental removal of parathyroids.
• Occurs in 2nd -5th postop day.
• Presentation – Weakness.– Chvostek`s sign +ve.– Carpopedal spasm– Convulsions
![Page 89: Anaesthetic mgt for pt with hyperthyroidism pritam](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b6bd1f4a7959693c8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
89
Treatment
• Depends on blood calcium level,
• 10ml of 10% Calcium gluconate/citrate is given 8th hrly.
• Later supplemented by oral Calcium 500mg 8th hrly.
• Drug is stopped after 3-6 wks & serum calcium level is repeated.
