Abstract:
Objective To investigate the preoperative preparation for pheochromocytoma. Methods The data of 286 cases of pheochromocytoma, who were treated in our hospital from 1980 to 2002,were collected and reviewed on the preoperative preparation.Phenoxybenzamine was given to 207 cases and urapidil to 78 during preoperative period, lasting for 2～9 weeks with a mean of 6 weeks.The remaining 1 underwent emergent surgery without use of ?-adrenergic blockers.In 28% of the cases,?-adrenergic blocker was given for control of heart rate. Results In 254 cases,blood pressure remained stable at the level of 120/80 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) or so.No paroxysmal hypertension,palpitation and sweating occurred after use of ?-blockade.The heart rate remained 80～85 times/min.No arrhythmia occurred.Peri-microcirculation was obviously improved.The tumor size (range,3～12 cm in diameter;mean,5.2 cm) was not related to the function and length of preoperative use of the medications.Hypertensive crisis occurred in 32 cases 2 weeks before operation. In most cases (96%), blood pressure fluctuated (reaching up to 280/180 mm Hg) when they experienced anesthesia induction and tumor crush during operation.However,it was easy to control.Postoperative blood pressure remained stable. Conclusions The full preoperative preparation for patients with pheochromocytoma is essential for the safety and success of anesthesia and operation.
