Key result
Induction of anesthesia triggered a severe hypertensive crisis and tachycardia in a 56-year-old female, leading to the diagnosis of an underlying thyroid storm.
Why the study?
Sympathetic overdrive under anesthesia can stem from multiple syndromes requiring early recognition to prevent progression to multiorgan failure.

Highlights the importance of recognizing thyroid storm as a cause of sympathetic overdrive (tachycardia and hypertensive crisis) during anesthesia induction.
Eyad Fareed Alsayed (2022) conducted a case report in Thyroid storm (n=1). Induction of anesthesia was evaluated on Hemodynamic instability (tachycardia and hypertension). Induction of anesthesia triggered a severe hypertensive crisis and tachycardia in a 56-year-old female, leading to the diagnosis of an underlying thyroid storm.
