=== Pheochromocytoma ===

*'''Aggressive fluid management with volume repletion is necessary after removal of pheochromocytoma because hypotension can occur as a result of sudden loss of tonic vasoconstriction.'''
* '''Postoperatively, fluid administration and use of vasopressors such as phenylephrine, guided by invasive monitoring, are useful to manage hypotension. Electrolyte abnormalities and hypoglycemia should be corrected. It is not uncommon for patients to remain hypertensive postoperatively, and antihypertensive management should be continued.'''
