Is there any special anaesthetic management for patients with Glucagonomas and VIPomas?

The key to the management of these patients is premedication with octreotide. A once or twice daily injection of octreotide will reduce the pathophysiology of both these conditions by inhibiting the secretion of the gut hormones.
