title: [Anesthesia in surgery of Basedow's disease].
abstract: Adequate preparation for surgery can be achieved in patients with Grave's disease by a combination anti-thyroid medication, Lugol's solution and beta-blockers, mainly propranolol. Only in rare cases when this treatment had failed has plasmapheresis been used. No thyroid storm occurred in the 35 cases reported. Should this complication be encountered, plasmapheresis appears to be the treatment of choice.
