D. Iodine preparations
E. Glucocorticoids Correct Answer-A. Antithyroid medications
D. Iodine preparations
E. Glucocorticoids
Rationale: Thyroid storm or thyrotoxicosis may develop with poorly
managed hyperthyroidism. Clinical manifestations include tachycardia,
fever, systolic hypertension, abdominal pain, tremors, and changes in
level of consciousness. Airway management and fluid resuscitation are
priorities. Antithyroid medications may be administered along with
iodine preparations. For management of tachycardia, beta-adrenergic
blockers may be administered. Glucocorticoids may also be
administered because in high doses these medications decrease the
conversion of T4 to the more active T3, as well as decreasing the release
of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland.
