Effect of Continuously Warmed Irrigating Solution during Transurethral Resection

Absorption of glycine irrigating solution during transcervical resection of endometrium.

Properties of Commonly Used Irrigating Solutions for Transurethral Resection Procedures

[Analysis of the absorcion's factors of irrigating fluid during transurethral resection of the prostate].

OBJECTIVES In this study it was our intention to evaluate the relation between the reabsorption of irrigating fluid and three variables: time of the intervention, volume of solution of glicina employee and weight of the fragments, during the RTU of prostate fulfilled to low hydraulic pressure. MATERIAL AND METHOD We study 74 patients that RTU of prostate was performed with suprapúbica derivat...

A randomized comparison between three types of irrigating fluids during transurethral resection in benign prostatic hyperplasia

BACKGROUND Central nervous system changes, circulatory and electrolyte imbalances are the main complications of endoscopic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) which is known as transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, which occurs as result of excessive absorption of irrigating fluid. We compare glycine 1.5% versus glucose 5% and normal saline 0.9% as irrigating solutions during TURP ...

Effect of warm intravenous and irrigating fluids on body temperature during transurethral resection of the prostate gland

BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the prostate gland with irrigation fluid at room temperature leads to perioperative hypothermia which could give rise to adverse cardiovascular events in the perioperative period. The use of isothermic irrigation fluid reduces but does not eliminate this risk. Routine use of warm intravenous fluids along with isothermic irrigation had not been documented. T...
