Abstract

The anesthetic management of pheochromocytoma is complicated and challenging. However, preoperative pharmacologic preparation has greatly improved perioperative outcome, and modern anesthetic drugs combined with advanced monitoring contribute to intraoperative stability. There is great regional and international variation in which intraoperative anesthetic technique is employed and there are little data to suggest one approach over another. Nevertheless, most management principles are universal. Progress lies in improved data collection that is increasingly available with electronic anesthesia information systems.
