Laboratory values were fT4: 5.66 ng/dl (normal range, 0.93-1.70), T3: 309.9 ng/dl (normal range, 80-200 ng/dL), and TSH < 0.005 mcIU/mL (normal range, 0.270-4.200 mcIU/mL) (Figure 2). On day ten, after five days of normal thyroid hormones, methimazole dose was decreased, hydrocortisone was discontinued, and propranolol was titrated off; however there was a slight increase in the FT4 and T3 which can be appreciated in Figure 2, and the dose was readjusted and she was extubated and safely left the ICU.
