STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the perioperative considerations for low-risk and high-risk surgery in patients with Gitelman syndrome. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: University-affiliated medical center. PATIENTS: 42 patients with Gitelman syndrome. MEASUREMENTS: Of the 42 patients with Gitelman syndrome, 5 underwent procedures requiring anesthesia: mastectomy, spinal fusion, thyroidectomy, tonsillectomy, and bronchoscopy. The anesthesia record and all associated laboratory tests and clinical notes associated with those procedures were recorded. MAIN RESULTS: No acute electrolyte abnormalities or postoperative complications occurred with these procedures in patients with Gitelman syndrome. CONCLUSION: Gitelman syndrome is a mild disorder when appropriately managed. |
