There is no need to administer extra volume of fluid to obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Use of dynamic indicators like PVI helps to decrease intraoperative volume of infused fluids with no effects on either intraoperative or postoperative lactate levels in laparoscopic bariatric interventions.
Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome is a complication characterised by symptoms changing from an asymptomatic hyponatremic state to convulsions, coma and death due to absorption of irrigation fluid during TURP. The syndrome appears to be related to the amount of fluid that enters the circulation via the blood vessels in the resection area. The first step in the course of action for therapy is to control bleeding and suspend the operation. In the case presented, we aimed to emphasise the importance of an early diagnosis and treatment of TURP syndrome in a patient that developed hyponatremia (90 mmol/l) while under general anaesthesia during a TURP procedure. In addition, multiple cystoscopic applications in the same session may facilitate development of the TURP syndrome.
Our study concluded that the methods used do not have any significant advantage over one another. While ETC inflated at normal pressure increases as user's experience increases, experience alone is not enough in adjusting ETCP. A manometer should be used in routine inflation of ETC instead of conventional methods. CP and anaesthesia duration have correlations with some postoperative complaints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
