  • Title: Dilutional hyponatraemia following transurethral operation for clot retention.
    Author: Hahn RG.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1991 Sep; 67(3):339-40. PubMed ID: 1911025.
    Abstract:
    Dilutional hyponatraemia with symptoms (TUR syndrome) may occur not only in association with transurethral prostatic resection, but also in other operations in which electrolyte-free irrigating fluid is used. This case report describes a patient who developed the TUR syndrome after blood clots had been removed from the bladder with the aid of a transurethral resectoscope.
