Detecting and quantifying absorbed irrigation fluid by measuring mannitol and sorbitol concentrations in serum samples, and by ethanol monitoring

Abstract: Objective To describe a modi®ed and improved technique which, in one measurement, estimates the in¯ux of irrigation¯uid during endoscopic endometrial ablation or prostate resection, and provides both rapid con®rmation of the diagnosis and an estimate of the amount of¯uid absorbed by detecting markers which pass from the irrigation¯uid to the serum, i.e. mannitol or sorbitol. Patients and methods Control samples were taken for analysis before irrigation, and test samples were taken on four occasions during and … Show more

“…Furthermore, in the uterus, a relatively large tissue surface is exposed to diathermy and fluid absorption increases with the extent of the resection as vascular channels on the endometrial surface are opened . A volumetric fluid balance to calculate intravasation during TURP is known to be very inaccurate . In the present study, measurements were hampered by the spill of irrigation fluid and urinary excretion.…”
