[Concentration of protein-bound iodine in blood plasma in thyrotoxicosis at the early postoperative period and the effect of neuroleptoanalgesia].

The concentration of thyroid hormones increased in the blood of patients the first 2 days after the toxic goiter resection; the degree of this elevation proved to depend directly on the severity of thyrotoxicosis. Application of neuroleptanalgesia prevented in mild and moderately severe thyrotoxicosis, and decreased in severe toxicosis an increase in the blood thyroid hormone level undesirable at the early postoperative period.
