- Abstract
With greater understanding of the complications of irrigation fluids and the correlated pathophysiology, anaesthesiologists should be better able to stratify risk and improve the quality of perioperative care. Irrigation fluid--associated complications, including TURP syndrome, may present subtly, necessitating a low threshold to initiate focused physical examination and investigations. Supportive treatment is the mainstay of initial intervention.
