29. Thyroid Storm The overall incidence of hyperthyroidism is estimated between 0.05% and 1.3% Thyroid storm is a rare disorder. Approximately 1-2% of patients with hyperthyroidism progress to thyroid storm Mortality approximately 10-20%, but it has been reported to be as high as 75% in hospitalized populations. Underlying precipitating illness may contribute to high mortality.
30.
31. Thyroid Storm Causes Untreated hyperthyrodism Infections, especially of the lung Thyroid surgery in patients with overactive thyroid gland Stopping medications given for hyperthyroidism Too high of thyroid dose Treatment with radioactive iodine Pregnancy Heart attack or heart emergencies Emotional stress
32. Thyroid Storm Symptoms Rapid heart beats Greatly increased body temperatur Chest pain Shortness of breath Anxiety and irritability Disorientation Increased sweating Weakness Heart failure
33. Fever ranges from 100.4-105.5. The pulse rate may range between 120 and 200 beats per minute but has been reported as high as 300 . . . sweating so profuse as to lead to dehydration from insensible fluid loss . . .
34. Medical Treatment A complete evaluation to determine the cause of thyroid storm Intravenous fluids and electrolytes Oxygen if needed Fever control with antipyretics (fever-reducing medications) and if needed cooling blankets Intravenous corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone
35. Defenitivetratment Medications to block the production of thyroid hormones, such as propylthiouracil (PTU) or methimazole Iodide to block thyroid hormone release Block the action of thyroid hormones on the cells by drugs called beta-blockers, such as propranolol (Inderal) Treatment of heart failure if present
36. Next Steps Following the start of treatment, careful monitoring, usually in the intensive care unit, is necessary. Following recovery from thyroid storm, options for definitive treatment are radioactiveiodine or antithyroid medications; surgery is rarely needed.
37. Rescue PCI Rescue PCI is reasonable for selected patients 75 years or older with ST elevation or LBBB or who develop shock within 36 hours of MI It is reasonable to perform rescue PCI for patients with one or more of the following: a. Hemodynamic or electrical instability b. Persistent ischemic symptoms.
