Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Postoperative hypotension is a common complication.
  • Adrenal insufficiency can present with non-specific symptoms.
  • Misdiagnosis can lead to delayed or inappropriate treatment.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with persistent hypotension post-surgery.
  • Initial diagnoses included cardiac abnormalities and sepsis.
  • Neither patient exhibited classic signs of adrenal insufficiency.

Findings:

  • Both patients were ultimately diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges are discussed.
  • The study emphasizes atypical presentations of adrenal insufficiency.

Implications:

  • Highlights the need for broader differential diagnosis in postoperative hypotension.
  • Suggests considering adrenal insufficiency even without classic symptoms.
  • Informs diagnostic strategies and treatment protocols for adrenal insufficiency.
