Abstract
Thyroid disorders are relatively uncommon among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) but may lead to serious morbidity and death. A working knowledge of these disorders is essential to their recognition and treatment, and an intensivist should be able to recognize and treat the 3 most common thyroid disorders in the ICU: myxedema coma, thyroid storm, and euthyroid sick syndrome.
