Irrigation Solution

A prospective trial was performed on 100 patients to determine whether using a reflective blanket (Space Blanket) and heated glycine 1.5% bladder irrigation solution would decrease the fall in body temperature associated with transurethral resection of the prostate under spinal anaesthesia. Patients who received a combination of reflective blanket and heated glycine 1.5% solution had their fall in body temperature significantly reduced when compared with those patients managed without a reflective blanket and/or heated 1.5% glycine. There was a marked decrease in the number of patients shivering and no increase in blood loss was seen when heated bladder irrigation solution was used.

The effects of a continuously warmed irrigating solution on body temperature during transurethral resection of the prostate and of bladder tumours were studied in forty patients. Anaesthesia was spinal and deep body temperatures of the forehead and lower abdomen were measured, using a deep body thermometry system. Both forehead and lower abdominal deep body temperatures decreased significantly in the patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate with an irrigating solution at operating room temperature, but did not decrease in the patients who received a continuously warmed irrigating solution. The same results were obtained for the patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumour. Our results indicate that a continuously warmed irrigating solution could prevent the fall in body temperature during transurethral resection, especially prostate resection, under spinal anaesthesia.

Представлены клинические результаты хирургического лечения доброкачественной гиперплазии предстательной железы (ДГПЖ) объемом до 100 см3 методом биполярной трансуретральной резекции простаты (БТУР -74 пациента) в сравнении с открытой чреспузырной простатэктомией (ОПЭ - 96 пациентов), ранее применявшейся для подобных клинических случаев в урологической клинике "Железнодорожной больницы" г. Волгоград. При статистически равном операционном времени обоих хирургических методов для БТУР отмечено существенное снижение интраоперационной кровопотери, сроков послеоперационной катетеризации и пребывания в стационаре, минимальная частота геморрагических и инфекционно-воспалительных осложнений. Наблюдение за урологическим статусом пациентов в течение первого послеоперационного года показало одинаковую клиническую эффективность сравниваемых хирургических методов. Значительное снижение объема кровопотери в ходе операции БТУР можно считать большим достижением, поскольку улучшение видимости в зоне хирургического вмешательства позволяет оптимизировать гемостаз, предотвратить массивные кровотечения как во время, так и после операции, сократить сроки послеоперационной катетеризации мочевого пузыря, что в свою очередь, снижает частоту развития инфекционно-воспалительных осложнений. Более быстрое восстановление пациентов после эндоскопических операций имеет медико-социальное и экономическое значение, поскольку минимальное количество послеоперационных осложнений и сокращение сроков госпитализации позволяет существенно снизить затраты на лечение и быстрее нормализовать качество жизни пациентов. Полученные результаты демонстрируют перспективность внедрения биполярных методов эндоскопических операций для лечения ДГПЖ в хирургическую практику урологических стационаров в целях повышения безопасности оперативного лечения и экономии затрат на госпитализацию. The clinical results of surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) up to 100 cm3 by bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (BTUR - 74 patients) in comparison with open transvesical prostatectomy (OPE - 96 patients), previously used for such clinical cases in the urological clinic "Railway hospital" in Volgograd are presented. With statistically equal operating time of both surgical methods, there was a significant decrease in intraoperative blood loss, the terms of postoperative catheterization and hospital stay, the minimum frequency of hemorrhagic and infectious-inflammatory complications. Observation of the urological status of patients during the first postoperative year showed the same clinical efficacy of the compared surgical methods. A significant reduction in the volume of blood loss during the operation, can be considered a great achievement, since the improvement of visibility in the area of surgical intervention allows to optimize the hemostasis, to prevent massive bleeding during and after surgery, to reduce the duration of postoperative bladder catheterization, which, in turn, reduces the incidence of infectious-inflammatory complications. Faster recovery of patients after endoscopic surgery of medical,social and economic importance, as the minimum number of postoperative complications and reduction of hospitalization can significantly reduce the cost of treatment and quickly normalize the quality of life of patients. The results demonstrate the prospects of the introduction of bipolar methods of endoscopic surgery for the treatment of BPH in the surgical practice of urological hospitals in order to improve the safety of surgical treatment and save costs for hospitalization.

Abstract Background Perioperative bleeding is the most common complication related to transurethral resection of prostate; the aim of the study was to compare the effect of pre-operative use of finasteride versus cyproterone acetate (CPA) on blood loss with monopolar TURP. Methods This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on (60) patients with BPH underwent monopolar TURP between July 2019 and July 2020. Patients were distributed into three equal groups; CPA group: 20 patients received cyproterone acetate 50 mg tab BID for two weeks before TURP, finasteride group: 20 patients received single daily dose of finasteride 5 mg for two weeks before TURP, control group: 20 patients received no treatment before TURP, all patients underwent monopolar TURP, and then histopathological examination of the resected tissues was done with assessment of the microvascular density of the prostate. Results Our study showed that there was significant decrease in intraoperative blood loss and operative time in CPA and finasteride groups in comparison with control group (p = 0.0012) (p < 0.0001), respectively, significant decrease in post-operative Hb and HCT value in finasteride and control groups in comparison with CPA group (p < 0.01), significant increase in specimen weight in CPA group compared to other groups (p < 0.01), and there was also significant decrease in microvascular density in CPA group in comparison with other groups (p < 0.01). Conclusion Cyproterone acetate is more effective than finasteride in decreasing perioperative bleeding with TURP by decreasing microvascular density of the prostate.

Objectives Isopropyl alcohol 70% as a rinse agent for chlorhexidine scrub has been shown to decrease body temperature more quickly than chlorhexidine solution in mice prepared aseptically prior to surgery. For this reason, some high-quality, high-volume (HQHV) surgical sterilization clinics use chlorhexidine solution rather than alcohol. We sought to determine if temperature upon entry to recovery, heat loss per kg and rate of temperature decline during surgery were different between cats rinsed with chlorhexidine solution vs 70% isopropyl alcohol following surgical scrub, and if there were significant predictors of recovery temperature. Methods Female cats admitted for surgery to trap–neuter–return (TNR) clinics at a veterinary college were assigned chlorhexidine solution or alcohol rinse agents via block randomization. Veterinary students and veterinarians performed spay surgeries using HQHV techniques. In recovery, heat support and reversal agents were available for cats with a low body temperature or that were slow to recover. Baseline values, outcome variables and duration of each stage (preparation, surgery, recovery) were assessed using Wilcoxon rank-sum and t-tests. Recovery temperature was evaluated using random effects multiple linear regression. Results The recovery temperature, heat loss per kg, heat loss per min, need for reversal and need for heat support in recovery were not significantly different between rinse groups. Weight <2.3 kg, body condition score <4, duration of surgery and postinduction temperature were predictors of recovery temperature. The rate of heat loss in the first 30 mins of surgery was slightly lower for cats in the alcohol rinse group and the recovery duration was shorter for cats weighing less <2.3 kg in the alcohol rinse group. Conclusions and relevance There were no clinically meaningful differences in body temperature between chlorhexidine and alcohol rinses. Both chlorhexidine solution and isopropyl alcohol 70% are appropriate rinse agents for aseptic preparation of feline spay surgeries.

Abstract Background and Aims End-stage chronic kidney disease is associated with the condition of chronic inflammation, impacting increased cardiovascular mortality in this specific population. Patients on hemodialysis are known to be predisposed to several factors that predispose to inflammation: dialysis membranes, central venous catheters, oxidative stress, fluid overload, sodium overload, uraemic toxins. Propolis, a natural resin produced by bees from plant materials, has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-oxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Brazilian green propolis extract on inflammation in hemodialysis patients. Here we present preliminary results of the trial NCT04072341. Method We performed a prospective trial, open-label 9-week crossover study examining the effect of Brazilian green propolis (250mg/day, in capsules) on inflammation in hemodialysis patients. We included patients over 18 years, under intermittent hemodialysis (thrice per week), on hemodialysis for at least 1 month and until now 37 patients were included. We excluded pregnant women, cancer carried and patients who developed infection or underwent any surgical procedure during the study period. Each period was 4 weeks in duration with a 1-week washout period in between. The primary end point was change in serum level of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (HsCRP). Secondary end point evaluated the safety of propolis use in hemodialysis patients. Results Their mean age was 58.6 ± 15.2 years (mean ± SD), and 22 (59.4%) were men. The proportion of patients with hypertension was 14 (37.8%) and diabetes was 9 (24.3%). The number of patients using arteriovenous fistula were 26 (70.2%). The HsCRP presented (mean ± SE) 5.31 ± 1.02 mg/L at baseline, 4.26 ± 0.76 mg/L after propolis period and 4.56 ± 1.32 mg/L in control period, p = 0.0042. Safety parameters were analyzed such as amylase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK); there was no difference between them before and after the use of propolis. None of the participants reported any adverse effects or allergic reactions during the treatment. Conclusion Patients on hemodialysis have an increased inflammatory state. For the best of our knowledge it was the first clinical trial who demonstrated the safety of propolis in hemodialysis patients. Brazilian green propolis demonstrated a tendency to reduce inflammation in these patients.
