RESUMO
Thyroid storm is an acute life-threatening condition of hyperthyroidism that can present with cardiac failure, requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We present the first case reported of total thyroidectomy successfully performed while on ECMO for thyroid storm in a 32-year-old male. This case highlights the challenges of managing refractory thyroid storm with multi-organ failure. We demonstrate that total thyroidectomy may still be safely performed while on ECMO for thyroid storm, if steps are taken to optimise the patient perioperatively, with careful surgical and anaesthesia planning.
