Occurrence of carcinoid syndrome is very rare. So the expertise and literature on this syndrome is limited. Physiologically active substances that are secreted by the carcinoid tumour cause major problems for the anesthesiologist in the perioperative period. Preoperative preparation of the patient is the most important step that decides the recovery of the patient. Discovery of octreotide lead to the improvement in treating and decreasing the morbidity and mortality during surgery. If the surgery is palliative post-operative management also makes it difficult for the anesthesiologist. Extreme vigilance and common sense had to be applied during the surgery by the anesthesiologist. Pathophysiology, symptomatology, diagnosis and perioperative management are described in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
