Acute Care Hypothyroidism

Question: Discuss about theAcute Carefor Hypothyroidism. Answer: Effect of Co-morbidity and Associated Needs on Pre-Operative Experience Hypothyroidism is one of the common disorders that affect cardiovascular, hematopoietic, respiratory and renal organ system. Before the surgery, treatment of hypothyroidism is necessary. The measurement of the euthyroidism needs to be documented, which is the part of the preoperative evaluation (van Santen et al., 2015). This will provide a better surgical result that helps to improve the morbidity and the mortality rate. In case of Mrs. Gupta, she takes 100 mcg thyroxin daily to reduce the rate of hypothyroidism. If the hypothyroidism does not reduced, it can affect the surgical patient. Sometimes it can be fatal for the patient. Therefore, the patient needs T3 treatment to reduce the risk of the preoperative stage. Mrs. Gupta has myocardial infarction that results the atrial fibrillation. The thyroxin helps to reduce the effects of the hypothyroidism and myocardial infarction. The TH hormone helps to develop the cardiovascular condition. Reddy and Ram (2015) mentioned that in case of preoperative stage, cardiovascular system plays major role. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the effect of hypothyroidism (co-morbidity) and thyroxin (associated needs) on pre-operative experience. In case of Mrs. Gupta, she is overweight and her BMI is 35 that needs to be reduced, which can create problem in the operative stages. Therefore, the treatment of the hypothyroidism is necessary. In such case, the coronary blood flow plays the significant role as well as the thyroid hormone. The therapeutic treatment can help Mrs. Gupta in such situation. References Reddy, k. A., ram, n. P.
