intravascular
Absorption of glycine (nonconductive fluid) = ___ change when under regional anesth.
neurologic status
Signs and Symptoms of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome
Cardiovascular: Hypertension, reflex bradycardia, pulmonary edema, cardiovascular collapse Hypotension ECG changes (wide QRS, elevated St segments, ventricular arrhythmias)
Cause?
Rapid fluid absorption (reflex bradycardia may be secondary to hypertension or increased ICP) Third spacing secondary to hyponatremia and hypo-osmolality; cardiovascular collapse Hyponatremia
Signs and Symptoms of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome
Respiratory: Tachypnea, oxygen desaturation, Cheyne-Stokes breathing
Cause?
Pulmonary edema
Signs and Symptoms of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome
Neurologic: Nausea, restlessness, visual disturbances, confusion, somnolence, seizures, coma, death
Cause?
Hyponatremia and hypo-osmolality causing cerebral edema and increased ICP, hyperglycinemia (inhibitory neurotransmitter, potentiates NMDA receptor activity), hyperammonemia
Signs and Symptoms of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome
Hematologic: Disseminated intravascular hemolysis
Cause?
Hyponatremia and hypo-osmolality
Signs and Symptoms of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome
Renal: Renal failure
Cause?
Hypotension, hyperoxaluria (metabolite of glycine)
Signs and Symptoms of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Syndrome
Metabolic: Acidosis
other: visual disturbances
Causes?
Deamination of glycine to glyoxylic acid NH3
increase in Glycine, Usually resolves in 24h
The ___ is a key component of fluid, electrolyte, neurohormonal balancing mechanisms
renal system
