Evaluation of Plasma Catecholamine Concentration During Surgery
Evaluation of Stress Hormone Concentration During the Resection of Pheochromocytoma. Comparison of Surgeon - Anesthesiologist - Patient

Stress during surgery leads to significant increase in plasma catecholamine concentrations in surgeons, anesthesiologists, and patients.

Hypothesis: Resection of pheochromocytomas can lead to more than normal stress in surgeons and because of abrupt hemodynamic changes in patients as well in anesthesiologists. Measurements of catecholamine concentrations at baseline, prior to surgery during and after surgery, are to be performed to test this hypothesis.

Observational
Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Not Provided
Retention:   Samples Without DNA
Description:

Venous blood will be drawn from the surgeon, anesthesiologist and from 8 patients to determine plasma catecholamine concentrations. Only plasma will be used for measurements.

Non-Probability Sample

The population consists of 8 patients with pheochromocytoma scheduled for tumor resection, one surgeon (with the experience of more than 50 pheochromocytoma resections) and one anesthesiologist (with the experience of more than 50 pheochromocytoma resections).

Stress
Not Provided
  • Surgeon
    To detect the degree of intraoperative stress, venous blod will be drawn from one surgeon during 8 pheochromocytoma resections.
  • Anesthesiologist
    To detect the degree of intraoperative stress, venous blood will be drawn from one anesthesiologist during 8 pheochromocytoma resections.
  • Patients with pheochromocytoma
    Venous blood will be drawn from 8 patients with pheochromocytoma during tumor resection.
