Management of Thyrotoxicosis Including Thyroid Storm

Description

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Interpret the patient’s history of thyrotoxicosis
  • Describe what is involved when examining the thyroid
  • State the different investigations that could be conducted
  • Specify appropriate treatment options
  • Describe the management of thyroid storm
  • Explain when a follow-up appointment would be needed

Thyrotoxicosis is a common condition leading to significant potential complications. It is frequently difficult to diagnose.
