AB  - In  a  critically  ill  patient  with  a  goiter  or  history  of  hyperthyroidism,  consider  and  treat  thyroid  storm  early.Thyroid  storm  and  myxedema  coma  are  clinical  diagnoses  that  do  not  depend  on  the  absolute  levels  of  thyroid-stimulating  hormone  and  free  thyroxine.Myxedema  coma  should  be  considered  in  elderly  hypothyroid  patients  who  present  with  hypothermia  and  confusion.For  successful  treatment,  it  is  important  to  try  to  identify  a  trigger  that  pushed  the  patient  into  the  extreme  state  of  thyroid  storm  or  myxedema  coma.
