| pubmed-article:7078754 | pubmed:abstractText | Coma due to myxoedema was first reported in 1879, and recent surveys have shown that only 150 cases are mentioned in the literature. Two cases successfully treated in a resuscitation department over the last six years are presented. The problems presented by patients of this type are discussed, and stress is laid on the importance of resuscitatory and intensive management, at least until resolution of the coma. | lld:pubmed |
