Prophylaxis versus Treatment against Transurethral Resection of Prostate Syndrome: The Role of Hypertonic Saline.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed at investigating the usage and effects of prophylactic hypertonic saline (HS) to prevent the occurrence of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome.

Materials and methods

Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classes I-III candidates for TURP using the monopolar resectoscope were randomized into three groups 20 patients each. Group A received 4 mL.kg^-1.h^-1 HS 3%; Group B received 2 mL.kg^-1.h^-1 HS 3%; and Group C received 6 mL.kg^-1.h^-1 normal saline. Hemodynamics, vasopressors need, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride), osmolality, and arterial-blood gas (ABG) were recorded. The incidence of transurethral resection syndrome, intensive ca
