Published	12/13/2023	The lithotomy position {{c1::decreases}} the functional residual capacity.
Published	12/13/2023	Immediately after lowering the legs from the lithotomy position, you should measure the {{c1::blood pressure}}.
Published	12/13/2023	The suggested block height for TURP/cystoscopy is {{c1::T10}}.
Published	12/13/2023	TURP syndrome is a constellation of symptoms associated with the absorption of {{c1::large amounts of fluid}}.
Published	12/13/2023	{{c1::Electrolyte}} solutions cannot be used for irrigation during {{c2::mono}}polar TURP because they disperse the electrocautery current.
Published	12/13/2023	TURP procedures should be kept to < {{c1::1}} hour(s) in order to minimize the amount of fluid absorbed in open venous sinuses.
Published	12/13/2023	Absorption of hypotonic irrigation fluids during TURP can lead to acute {{c1::hyponatremia}}.
Published	12/13/2023	Degradation of {{c2::glycine}} from irrigation can cause associated {{c3::hyperammonemia}}, which manifests as {{c1::visual loss}}.
Published	12/13/2023	Management of patients with mild TURP syndrome is {{c1::fluid restriction}} and {{c1::furosemide}}.
Published	12/13/2023	Bipolar TURP will not result in TURP syndrome because it can use {{c1::isotonic saline}} irrigation.
Published	12/13/2023	An early sign of bladder perforation during irrigation is a {{c1::decreased return of irrigation fluid}}.
Published	12/13/2023	{{c1::Regional}} anesthesia is preferred for TURP because it allows for monitoring of {{c2::neurologic}} status.
Published	12/13/2023	Fragmentation of kidney stones can be done with {{c1::extrocorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)}}.
Published	12/13/2023	In ESWL, shock waves should be synchronized with the {{c1::R wave (EKG)}} to reduce the incidence of arrhythmias.
Published	12/13/2023	Shock waves in ESWL may damage {{c1::ICDs}}, so it is important to get a consultation for device management.
Published	12/13/2023	Transurethral resection of bladder tumors can stimulate the {{c1::obturator}} nerve.
Published	12/13/2023	Patients receiving {{c1::bleomycin}} are at high risk for {{c2::oxygen toxicity}} and {{c3::fluid overload}}.
Published	12/13/2023	The preferred solution for TURP is {{c1::glycine 1.5%}}.
Published	12/13/2023	Patients with seizures from TURP syndrome can be treated with {{c1::benzodiazepines}} or {{c1::magnesium}}.
Published	12/13/2023	What serial labs should be drawn when managing TURP syndrome?{{c1::Na+ }}
Published	12/13/2023	What type of complication is suggested by generalized abdominal or shoulder pain during a TURP?{{c1::Bladder perforation}}
Published	12/13/2023	During a TURP, blood loss can be estimated at {{c1::2}}-{{c1::4}} mL/min of resection time.
