TURP resection syndrome

18
Q

Discontinue irrigation
Administer diuretics
Replace irrigation with NS
Monitor I & O
Differentiate Lethargy and confusion of TUR syndrome from postoperative disorientation and hyponatremia
Assess for pulmonary edema, heart failure

A

Interventions for Transurethral resection syndrome

19
Q

e bladder can fill but you are not voiding, so the urine goes up the ureters to the kidneys –
▪ This is a drowning of the kidneys
▪ This is a cause of renal failure

A

Hydronephrosis

20
Q

is the most sensitive indicator of renal function

A

Creatinine

21
Q

o A sensor picks up the size of the prostate

o Goes up rectum, towards umbilicus to measure the size of the prostate

A

TRUS – transrectal ultrasound

22
Q

To identify the presence of cancer cells

They will do an MRI or CT Scan to identify an area that may be cancerous

A

Prostate biopsy

23
Q

Assess knowledge and understanding of procedure, clarify- ing information as needed.
• Schedule IVP prior to any ordered barium test or gallbladder studies using contrast material.
• Ask about allergy to seafood, iodine, or radiologic contrast dye. Notify physician or radiologist if allergies are known.
• Verify the presence of a signed consent for the procedure.
• Assess renal and fluid status, including serum osmolality, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Notify the
physician of any abnormal values.
• Instruct the client to complete ordered pretest bowel prepa-
ration, including prescribed laxative or cathartic (see p. 000) the evening before the test, and an enema or suppository the morning of the test. Withhold food for 8 hours prior to the test; clear liquids are allowed.
As the dye is injected, you may feel a transient flushing or burning sensation, along with possible nausea and a metallic taste.

A

IVP procedure

24
Q

using local or general anesthesia. You may feel some pressure or a need to urinate as the scope is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
• Do not attempt to stand without assistance immediately after the procedure as you may feel dizzy or faint.
• Burning on urination for a day or two after the procedure is to be expected.
• Immediately notify the physician if your urine remains bloody for more than three voidings after the procedure, or you develop bright bleeding, low urine output, abdominal or flank pain, chills, or fever.
• Warm sitz baths, analgesic agents, and antispasmodic med- ications may relieve discomfort after the procedure.
• Increase fluid intake to decrease pain and difficulty voiding and reduce the risk of infection.
• Laxatives may be ordered after the procedure to prevent constipation and straining, which may cause urinary tract bleeding.

A

Cytoscopy

25
Q

a special x-ray exam of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder).

A

IVP

26
Q
Urinary tract infections
o Bladder or kidney damage
o A cause of chronic renal failure
o Bladder stones
o Incontinence
o Urine retention –Renal failure
A

Complications of BPH

27
Q

• Rare but potentially serious complication.
S/S: neurologic, cardiovascular and electrolyte imbalances associated with absorption of the solution used to irrigate the surgical site during the surgical procedure. Hyponatremia, hypovolemia and occasionally hyperammonemia may occur. S/S: Lethargy, confusion, hypotension, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, collapse, headache, muscle spams and seizure.
