Brief Summary

Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the adrenal gland that develop from cells producing adrenaline and noradrenaline. Consequently, intraoperative blood pressure variations (hypertensive and hypotensive episodes) are characteristic of pheochromocytoma surgery, when these tumors are removed. However, recommendations for the management of these tumors are based on data essentially dating from the 1960s-1990s. Since then, anesthesia and surgery for patients with pheochromocytoma have evolved considerably, and have become more effective with time. In these circumstances, a review of the current situation is necessary. The aim of this study is to investigate the intraoperative hemodynamic changes observed in patients undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, comparing them with the hemodynamic profile observed in patients undergoing adrenal surgery for a pathology other than pheochromocytoma (control group).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hemodynamic instability score

    The haemodynamic instability score was calculated as a weighted continuous measure ranging from 0 to 160 points. This score appropriately quantifies deviations of blood pressure and heart rate from predefined thresholds, and infusion rates of vasoactive agents and fluids. Zero corresponds to the absence of peroperative hemodynamic changes and 160 to the maximum possible peroperative hemodynamic changes.
