Influence of Anaesthesia on the Endocrine System

  • Chapter
Endocrinology in Anaesthesia and Surgery

Abstract

The development of new techniques of hormone assay has stimulated studies on the effects of anaesthetics on the endocrine system in recent years. The endocrine response to anaesthesia is less than that to major surgical procedures. However, it would be beneficial if the safety of patients undergoing anaesthesia and surgery could be increased by utilizing the knowledge and information of the latest developments in this field. It should also be remembered that endocrine disease itself exerts an influence on the course of anaesthesia and surgery.
