Surgery on the thyroid has been extensively developing in recent decades. All organs and systems are involved in thyrotoxicosis, but cardiovascular involvement predominates. We evaluated the preoperative treatment and choice of optimal anesthesia for interventions on the thyroid. Preoperative treatment modified the central hemodynamic parameters and levels of thyroid and adrenocortical hormones in the blood, which should be borne in mind during preparations of patients to surgery. Central hemodynamic parameters and hormonal profiles during the intervention depended on the variants of preoperative treatment and anesthesia.
