Changes in plasma cortisol, glucose, cyclic AMP, blood leucocytes, pulse rate and body temperature were measured during and for 24 h after subtotal thyroidectomy in eight propranolol-treated (120-160 mg per day) mild to moderate thyrotoxic patients and eight patients with a non-toxic goitre. The results showed a similar metabolic response to surgery in the two groups without any trends towards a hypermetabolic response in the toxic group. The accumulating evidence of the safety of preoperative preparation with propranolol in patients with mild to moderate thyrotoxicosis is thus supported by our results.
