Abstract
- An anesthetic experience with bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing's ayndrome in a 21 year old female has been presented. Before induction of anesthesia with intravenous thiopental and succinylcholine, chlorpromazine was administered intravenously to suppress excessive hypertension and tachycardia. Anesthesia was maintained with diethyl ether and halothane-oxygen, using semi-closed circle absorption system and controlled ventilation. After bilateral adrenalectomy, hypotension was treated with the administration of norepinephrine, cortisone and whole blood.
