Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Haemodynamic evidence for cardiac stress during transurethral prostatectomy.
To compare haemodynamic performance during transurethral prostatectomy and non-endoscopic control procedures similar in duration and surgical trauma. ⋯ Important haemodynamic disturbances were identified during routine apparently uneventful transurethral prostatectomy but not during control procedures. These responses may be related to the rapid central cooling observed during transurethral prostatectomy and require further study.
