[Preoperative care and anesthesia in surgical treatment of thyrotoxicosis]

The authors made an analysis of clinical materials pertaining to 1234 patients with thyrotoxicosis, who were given different preoperative management and operated upon under local and general anesthesia. It is noted, that there is less number of postoperative thyrotoxic crises after mercosolyl administration in combination with reserpine and nonspecific drugs than after Plummer preoperative preparation (0.1% versus 1.2%).
