Intraoperative parathormone measurements and postoperative hypocalcemia.

The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2010
Hypocalcemia 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.

Postoperative PTH monitoring of hypocalcemia expedites discharge after thyroidectomy

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014
Hypocalcemia 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 ...
