Supports endocrine assessment in perioperative care; leaves open prospective validation of protocols on outcomes.
Understanding the basic physiology of endocrinology and metabolism is important for the safe conduct of anesthesia of patients with endocrine disease. Full endocrine assessment and considered interpretation of the results is essential before anesthesia and surgery. In this chapter, we have covered the background physiology and the basic investigations that may be required to diagnose and direct treatment in order to optimize perioperative care.
