TL block 3 Flashcards
Guidelines for reducing the incidence or severity of TURP
-suspending irrigating fluid < 30cm above pt
=draining bladder regularly to avoid inc in bladder pressure
-limit resection time to < 1 hr
-avoid hypotonic IV fluids
-use vasopressors to tx hypoTN from regional -> regional dec venous pressures and inc absorption of irrigation

rare unless lenthy resection -> prostatic tissue plasminogen activator
-expediates conversion of plasminogen to plasmin promoting fibrinolysis
-tx: supportive blood product transfusion, incl cryo
