Anaesthesia for the carcinoid syndrome: a report of nine cases

R Miller et al. Can Anaesth Soc J. 1978 May.

Abstract

Anaesthesia for nine patients with the carcinoid syndrome is described. With the exception of one case in which severe bronchospasm and hypertension occurred, complications were minor. Steroids, aprotonin and methotrimeprazine appear to be useful agents in the management of such patients. An anaesthetic technique employing thiopentone, pancuronium and nitrous oxide proved satisfactory.
