Management of Thyrotoxicosis Including Thyroid Storm
Session Overview
Description
This session covers typical clinical features and management of both thyrotoxicosis and thyroid storm.

Learning Objectives
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.
