4 Preface Endocrinology is a rapidly developing field with many new concepts. In addition, many new hormones have been described since The structural analysis and synthesis of several intestinal hormones such as gastrin, secretin, glucagon and cholecystokinin have been achieved. Several hypothalamic hormones controlling pituitary function have been identified and in certain cases synthesized. The existence of hormonal peptides secreted from ectopic sites has been recognized. The development of new techniques of hormone assay has stimulated studies on the effects of anesthetics on the endocrine system. Although the endocrine response to anesthesia is less than its response to major surgical procedures, the effects of anesthesia on metabolism and on the autonomie nervous system are substantial. The primary purpose of this book is to increase the safety of patients undergoing anesthesia by making available the latest developments in this field. The major subjects examined in the book are endocrine responses to anesthesia and surgery, the effects of endocrine disease on anesthesia and surgery, and pre-operative and post-operative management of patients with endocrine disease. The book is designed for students, residents and practicing physicians in the field of anesthesia and surgery. Many tables and figures are empioyed to improve the presentation, particuiarly those relating to pharmacology and to the practical aspects of therapy. I wish to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. C. A. NUGENT, Professor ofinternal Medicine (Endocrinology Section), University of Arizona School of Medicine, and to Dr. F. P. HAUGEN, Emeritus Professor of Anesthesia, University of Oregon School of Medicine. They were kind enough to correct my English, and also gave me heipful advice in editing the book. Furthermore, I would like to thank my colleagues in my Department. Much new information in this field has been developed as a result of their energetic research efforts. I am also grateful to Prof. F. MOYA, University of Miami School of Medicine, for his advice. Finally, the author is grateful to Prof. R. FREY of the Department of Anesthesia, University of Mainz Medical School, and Springer Verlag for the opportunity of having this book published in Germany. Miami, April 1973 T.OYAMA

7 Introduction In recent years there has been significant expansion in our knowledge and understanding of the field of endorinology. As a result, patients are living longer and coming to surgery for elective incidental procedures or for direct intervention in the endocrine problem. Therefore, the subject matter of this textbook is of great importance and relevance to anesthesiologists, surgeons, and internists alike. The contents of this comprehensive volume includes consideration of all mai,or endocrine functions including the prostaglandins. The interreaction of surgery, anesthesia, endocrine function and their influence on the management of these patients are presented in a scholarly and lucid fashion. Professor OYAMA is eminently qualified to write such a book for he has devoted most of his professional life to this field. Through his personal research efforts he has been a major contributor to the field of endocrine response to surgery and anesthesia. These investigations have given hirn the necessary insight and understanding to be able to write this comprehensive and worthy volume. It represents a fitting capstone to an outstanding career in medicine and research. FRANK MOYA
