General anaesthesia and thyroid trouble ?!
Question:
General anaesthesia and thyroid trouble ?
I have hyperthyroidism, and I'm supposed to have a minor operation which needs general General anaesthesia, my doctor says it's safe but I'm kind of worried about it. Will the hyperthyroidism cause any complications with the general anaesthesia ??
Answers:
The anesthesia provider (anesthetist / anesthesiologist) will review your medical history (including the hyperthyroidism) .
During the case, the knowledge of your history will allow them to anticipate virtually any problem arising from the hyperthyroidism.
You can rest easy.
