Pre- and post-operative approaches for a patient with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma

Patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma need to be well-blocked or have their blood pressures well-controlled before surgery. After surgery, blood pressures should be closely monitored as well. This presentation will discuss pre-operative blockade, how to properly administer medications before surgery, and what to look for post-operatively in patients undergoing surgical resection of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.
