| Abstract |
|
A 35 year-old man underwent partial resection of pheochromocytoma under general anesthesia. Preoperatively, phenoxybenzamine was given for 18 days. Following induction of anesthesia with intravenous thiopental sodium, succinylcholine iodide was administered intravenously and endotracheal intubation was performed. Anesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide, oxygen and Penthrane using a semi-closed carbon dioxide absorption circle system. During anesthesia, marked hypertension and hypotension developed but no arrhythmia was present except for sinus tachycardia.
The patient tolerated anesthesia and surgery well with appropriate cardiovascular control using Regitine, Levophed, I.V. fluid and whole blood. |
