[Changes in the plasma levels of T3-T4 and TSH during surgical stress and anesthesia with isoflurane].
The authors describe the blood level changes of T3, T4 and TSH in 17 patients undergoing urological surgery and isoflurane anaesthesia. The data were statistically processed and showed that isoflurane, used as the only anesthetic agent in 1.5%-2% concentrations, is not sufficient to block hormonal changes of the hypothalamus-hypophysis-thyroid axis caused by surgical stress.
