TURP SYNDROME:ANATOMY OF PROSTATE
TURP SYNDROME:SURGICAL PROCEDURE
Operation is performed through a modified cystoscope
Prostatic tissue is resected using an electrically energized wire loop.
the Prostatic capsule is usually preserved.
Continuous irrigation is necessary to distend the bladder and to wash away blood and dissected prostatic tissue.
TURP SYNDROME: SURGICAL PROCEDURE
EPIDEMIOLOGY
TURP can be associated with a number of complications: • TURP Syndrome
(2%) • Hemorrhage • Bladder perforation
(1%) • Hypothermia • Septicemia (6%) • DIC
the main challenges are blood loss and TURP Syndrome due to excessive absorption of irrigant fluid
Mebust WK, Holtgrewe HL, Cockett AT, Peters PC. Transurethral prostatectomy: immediate and postoperative complications. A cooperative study of 13 participating institutions evaluating 3,885 patients. J Urol 1989;141(2):243-7.
TURP SYNDROME: DEFINITION
TURP syndrome: constellation of signs and symptoms caused by the absorption of large volumes of isotonic irrigating fluids through prostatic veins or breaches in the prostatic capsule.
The syndrome is characterized by • hypervolemia, • hyponatremia • hypo-osmolarity
TURP SYNDROME: DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
The differential diagnosis of hypotension following
TURP should always include 1. Hemorrhage2. TURP syndrome3. Bladder perforation4. Myocardial infarction or ischemia 5. Septicemia6. Disseminated intravascular coagulation
(DIC).7. Anaphylaxis
TURP SYNDROME: EPIDEMIOLOGY
Irrigant absorption may occur in up to 46% of resections
5-10% of patients absorbing 1 liter or more observed in 2-10% of all prostate resections Of approximately 400,000 TURP procedures
each year, 10% to 15% incur TURP syndrome and the mortality is 0.2% to 0.8%
Syndrome may occur as quickly as 15 minutes after resection starts or up to 24 hours postoperatively
A simple canalization or balloon dilation of the urethra or a staged TURP is less likely to provoke TURP syndrome.
Jensen V: The TURP Syndrome. Canadian Journal of Anesthesia 1991/ 38:1/ pp90-7
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
The irrigation solution enters the bloodstream directly through open prostatic venous sinus• primarily when prostatic capsule is
violated during surgery. As many as 8L of irrigation solution can be
absorbed by the patient during TURP. The average rate of aborption is 20mL per
minute and my reach 200mL per minute average weight gain by the end of surgery is
2 kg.
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
Ideally the irrigation solution should be:
Isotonic electrically inert Nontoxic Transparent inexpensive
Osmolality of irrigation solutions used for transurethral resection of
the prostate
Solution Osmolality (mOsm/kg)
Glycine, 1.2% 175
Glycine, 1.5% 220
Sorbitol, 3.5% 165
Mannitol, 5% 275
Cytal 178
Glucose, 2.5% 139
Urea, 1% 167
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
Distilled water is transparent and electrically inert. • Extremely Hypotonic: may cause
hemolysis, shock and renal failure. Several nearly isotonic irrigation solutions
that have replaced plain distilled water.• The more commonly used solution today is
Glycine. • Cytal is a solution occasionally used.
To maintain their transparency, these solutions are prepared moderately hypotonic.
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
Glycine has direct toxic effects on the: Heart: decrease of 17.5 % in cardiac output,
arginine reversed myocardial depression Retina: transient visual disturbance
(blindness) Encephalophathy & seizures: via NMDA
potentiation• Magnesium exerts a negative control on
the NMDA receptor• hypomagnesemia caused by dilution may
increase the susceptibility to seizures.
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
The most common metabolites of glycine are ammonia and oxalic acids.
Hyperoxaluria could compromise renal function in patients with coexisting renal disease
Hyperammonemia occurs secondary to arginine deficiency.
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
Hyperammonemia manifestations appear within 1 hour after surgery.
Blood ammonia level > 500 mmol/L. • nauseated, vomits, and then
becomes comatose. Ammonia level < 150 mmol/L pt

TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
Transient blindness is likely caused by toxic effect of Glycine inhibition of the visional pathways of the retina
Severity of the is directly related to Glycine blood level
The patient complains of blurred vision and halos
Eyes dilated and unresponsive pupils.
Vision improves as the Glycine level declines
TURP SYNDROME: IRRIGATION FLUID
Cytal is a mixture of sorbitol and mannitol
Bacterial containmination: This is secondary to the sugars in the cytal solution make it a rich medium for bacteria
Exacerbate hyperglycemia in diabetic patients
pulmonary edema in cardiac patients: mannitol rapidly expands the blood volume
TURP SYNDROME: PREOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
Patients for TURP are frequently elderly with coexistent diseases.• cardiac disease 67%• abnormal
electrocardiogram (ECG) 77%
• chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 29%
• diabetes mellitus 8%Dodds C and Murray D. Preoperative assessment of the elderly. BJA CEPD Reviews
(2001) 1,6: 181-184
TURP SYNDROME: PREOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
Fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be corrected • sodium concentrations >130 mEq/L are
safe for GA. • Lower concentrations manifest
intraoperatively as decrease in MAC Long standing urinary obstruction can lead to
impaired renal function and chronic urinary infection.• About 30% of TURP patients have infected
urine preoperatively.
TURP SYNDROME: PREOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
Normal saline is the preferred solution because it contains sodium (154mEq/L)
For most patients T&S is sufficient Blood should be crossmatched for
anemic patients and patients with large glands (> 40 g).• Keep in mind: the transfusion rate for
TURP-surgery is about 6%.

TURP SYNDROME:ANESTHETIC TECHNIQUE
spinal anesthesia is the technique of choice
sensory supply to the bladder is from T10 - T12.
sensory supply to the urethra, prostate and bladder neck is from S2 - S4.
for satisfactory anesthesia, a block to T10 is required.
Spinal anesthesia dose of Bupivacaine 0.75% is 1.6 ml

TURP SYNDROME:REGIONAL ANESTHESIA
Subarachnoid anesthesia is preferred to epidural • It is technically easier to perform in the
elderly• the duration of surgery is generally not
very long. • the incomplete block of sacral nerve roots
that occasionally occurs with extradural technique is avoided with subarachnoid anesthesia.
Regional anesthesia does not abolish the obturator reflex. • The reflex blocked by muscle paralysis
during general anesthesia or obturator nerve block
TURP SYNDROME:ANESTHETIC TECHNIQUE
Regional anesthesia is the anesthetic of choice:
monitoring of the patients mentation
vasodilation and peripheral pooling of blood
It reduces blood loss It provides postoperative
analgesia. reinfarction rate for SA has been
reported to be less than 1%, versus 2% to 8% for GA.
Decreaseed hypercoagulable tendency in the postoperative period
homeostasis of the neuroendocrine system
TURP SYNDROME: GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Advantage • Uncooperative
patients or in patients who require hemodynamic or ventilatory support.
• Abolish Obturator Reflex
Disadvantage • inability to monitor
the patient’s level of mentation

TURP SYNDROME: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
TURP SYNDROME: CARDIAC SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS
<120mEq/L :• signs of cardiovascular depression
<115mEq/L: • bradycardia, widening of the QRS complex,
ST-segment elevation, ventricular ectopic beats, and T wave inversion.
<110 mEq/L :• VT or VF• can develop respiratory and cardiac arrest

TURP SYNDROME: MANIFESTATION UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Presenting signs are a rise and then fall in BP, respiratory arrest, and bradycardia.
The ECG may show nodal rhythm, ST-segment changes U waves, and widening of the QRS complex.
Recovery from general anesthesia is usually delayed.

TURP SYNDROME: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
TURP SYNDROME: NEUROLOGICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
CNS dysfunction is due to acute hypoosmolarity.• the blood brain barrier is impermeable to
sodium but freely permeable to water. Cerebral edema caused by acute
hypoosmolality can increase intracranial pressure: • Bradycardia + hypertension by the
Cushing reflex. The rise in intracranial pressure is
directly related to the gain in body weight during TURP.
TURP SYNDROME: NEUROLOGICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
In some cases, moderate hyponatremia is associated with severe neurologic symptoms; in others, severe hyponatremia causes no symptoms. • The determining factor is the rate at which
the serum sodium level falls rather than the total.
• faster the fall the greater the incidence of CNS symptoms.
• There may be accompanied EEG abnormalities • loss of alpha-wave activity and irregular
discharge of high-amplitude slow-wave activity.
TURP SYNDROME: NEUROLOGICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
Na <120 meq/L: • confusion and restlessness
Na <115 meq/L: • Somnolence and nausea
Na <110 meq/L: • Tonic-clonic seizures and coma.
TURP SYNDROME: PREVENTION
TURP SYNDROME: RISK FACTORS
TURP syndrome is more likely to occur:
1. The hydrostatic pressure of the irrigation solution is high.
2. An excessively distended bladder
3. Prostatic gland is large.4. The Prostatic Capsule is
violated during surgery. 5. Duration of surgery
(>60mins)
TURP SYDROME: Prediction and early diagnosis of TURP
Syndrome
Objectives: To determine the correlation of resection time, irrigant volume and prostatic weight with the incidence of TURP syndrome and to evaluate the role of resection experience in the occurrence of the syndrome among 579 patients

Incidence of TURP Syndrome at Identified Risk Categories
Incidence of TURP syndrome In Combination of Various Risk
Categories
Comparison of TURP syndrome Between Resident and Consultant
TURP SYDROME: Prediction and early diagnosis of Syndrome
Prolonged resection time,high prostatic weight and high irrigant volume are important risk factors in the development of TURP syndrome particularly when resection time exceeds 60 mins, prostatic weight is heavier than 30 grams and irrigant volume is greater than 30 liters.
The risk is enhanced by the presence of more than one of these risk categories. Additionally, lack of resection experience remains an important factor in its causation.Prediction and early diagnosis of Transurethral Prostatectomy Syndrome
ANDRES S. M Et Al, National Kidney and Transplant Institute Division of Urology, QC, Philippines
TURP SYNDROME: BIPOLAR SALINE TURP
Conventional TURP uses a monopolar electrocautery in which the current passes from the electrode on the resectoscope through the pt’s body to the return plate.
This current passage can result in stimulation of nerves or muscles, burns, and problems with cardiac pacemakers.
TURP SYNDROME: BIPOLAR SALINE TURP
The Bipolar technique allows the use of saline as the irrigation fluid, eliminating the risk of transurethral resection syndrome
Several clinical trials have proved that bipolar TURP is as effective as conventional TURP, but with a shorter hospital stay, earlier catheter removal, and fewer complications

TURP SYNDROME: EARLY DETECTION
Thirty ASA physical status I–III patients (mean age 62 yr) were assesed for the role of monitoring ethanol content of the expired breath and its relationship in diagnosing TURP syndrome
irrigant used: 30 L of 5% mannitol + 1% ethanol
alcohol concentration within breathing air (by an alcolmeter) was monitored at 5–15-min intervals.
They concluded, the addition of ethanol to irrigation fluid and follow-up of expiratory breath ethanol concentration is a simple and inexpensive method that allows early detection of TURP syndrome (P < 0.05)

TURP SYNDROME: TREATMENT
Ensure oxygenation and circulatory support Notify surgeon and terminate procedure Consider invasive monitors if CV instability
occurs Send blood for electrolytes, creatinine,
glucose, ABG Obtain 12 lead ECG Seizures
• Use short acting anticonvulsant (midazolam), Next a barbiturate or phenytoin can be added. last resort, use muscle relaxant
Restlessness and incoherence are particularly ominous signs • GA in the presence of TURP syndrome can
lead to severe complications and even death.
TURP SYNDROME: TREATMENT
Treat mild symptoms: Na>120 mEq/L• Fluid restriction and loop diuretic
(furosemide 20mg) Treat severe symptoms: Na< 120
mEq/L• 3% NaCl IV at a rate of <100ml/hr• Discontinue 3% NaCl when Na > 120
mEq/L Rate of Na increase should not exceed
12 mEq/L in 24 hr period
TURP SYNDROME: TREATMENT
Rapid administration of hypertonic saline has been associated with central pontine myelinolysis
To reduce the hazards of saline administration, serum osmolarity should be monitored and corrected aggressively only until symptoms substantially resolve • then hyponatremia should be corrected at
a rate no faster than 1.5 mEq/L per hourGravenstein D: Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome: A review of pathophysiology and management. Anesth Analg 1997; 84:438
TURP SYNDROME: TREATMENT
ie. 100-kg man • Na of 118 mEq/L. • How much NaCl must be given to raise his
Na to 130 mEq/L?• (100 x 0.6) x (130-118) = 720 mEq• 720 mEq/ 154 mEq = 4.7 liters of NS
