Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does continuous infusion of octreotide combined with perioperative octreotide bolus prevent intraoperative carcinoid crisis?
Answer: Octreotide infusions do not prevent intraoperative crises. Patients without liver metastases or carcinoid syndrome can have intraoperative crises. Postoperative complications can be decreased by reducing the duration of crises. Further study is needed to determine how best to shorten hemodynamic instability during crises.
Output (English): no
