Predictability of Hypocalcemia Using Early Postoperative Serum Calcium Levels
The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2001In operations involving the thyroid or parathyroid glands, postoperative serum calcium levels are one contributing factor to patients' length of hospital stay. In this study, we wanted to determine whether early postoperative serum calcium levels could be used to predict hypocalcemia following operations of the thyroid or parathyroid glands.A ...

Postoperative PTH monitoring of hypocalcemia expedites discharge after thyroidectomy
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014Hypocalcemia is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Some patients need to stay in the hospital for monitoring of hypocalcemic symptoms and serum calcium levels for several days. We investigated the efficacy and safety of using early postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) results for early discharge after thyroidectomy.A ...

Acute Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Neck Surgery
2019Acute hypocalcemia can be a true medical emergency. Symptoms of acute hypocalcemia include paresthesias, carpopedal spasm, broncho- or laryngospasm, tetany, seizures, mental status changes, positive Chvostek’s or Trousseau’s signs, bradycardia, impaired cardiac contractility, and prolongation of the QT interval. We present a case of a 49-year-old woman

Preoperative Vitamin D Deficiency Predicts Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Total Thyroidectomy
World Journal of Surgery, 2010AbstractBackgroundTransient postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia occurs in up to 30% of patients. We evaluated the effect of vitamin D deficiency on postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia.MethodsData were collected prospectively between January 2006 and March 2009.

Intraoperative parathormone measurements and postoperative hypocalcemia.
The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2010Hypocalcemia following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is a well-recognized potential complication.To determine the utility of intraoperative quick parathormone assay in predicting severe hypocalcemia development following parathyroidectomy for a single-gland adenoma causing primary hyperparathyroidism.A retrospective cohort study was performed.

Risk Factors Of Postoperative Hypocalcemia
2016Introduction: Thyroid surgery has a range of complications from minor to major likehaemetoma,surgical site infections to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, dyspnea, hypocalcemia. With itscommon ratio hypocalcemia could be transient or persistent.

We sought to investigate predictors of early development of postoperative hypocalcemia in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thirty-six hemodialysis patients (21 men, 15 women; mean age, 39.6 +/- 13.2 years; mean hemodialysis duration, 77.9 +/- 47.1 months) underwent parathyroidectomy.

Postoperative Parathyroid Hormone Level as a Predictor of Post-thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia
The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2003To evaluate levels of parathyroid hormone following total thyroidectomy in order to ascertain its ability to predict postoperative hypocalcemia. To establish standardized criteria permitting the safe discharge of total thyroidectomy patients within 13 hours of surgery.This is a prospective study in which parathyroid hormone levels were tested in 54 ...

Postoperative hypocalcemia - its relation to operative techniques.
Annales chirurgiae et gynaecologiae, 1983The relationship between the type of operation for primary hyperparathyroidism and the incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia has not been completely elucidated. The pre- and postoperative serum calcium concentrations in 107 patients with this disease who were operated upon for the first time utilizing several different procedures were evaluated ...

Parathyroidectomy and postoperative hypocalcemia: a retrospective study.
Acta anaesthesiologica Belgica, 1988The data of 24 patients, operated for different types of hyperparathyroidism were reviewed in order to evaluate the evolution of calcium levels during the first week following surgery. A correlation with the preoperative values of alkaline phosphatase could be demonstrated.
