[Various features of anesthesiologic provisions for surgery of pheochromocytoma]

Abstract

The examination of 46 patients with pheochromocytoma has shown all the patients to have cardiac insufficiency before operation. This finding shows the necessity of preoperative preparation of the myocardium. The standard administration of beta-adrenoblocking agents without controlling the parameters of central hemodynamics can cause insufficiency of the minute volume of blood circulation. The authors failed to reveal advantages of any kind of general anesthesia. They consider that all the efforts in the course of anesthesiologic measures should be directed to the correction of hemodynamics.
