Abstract
Hemodilutional consequences of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can present clinical problems during or in the immediate period following tihs procedure. Recognition of large and rapid changes in the plasma Na by inference from an ion selective electrode may avert the development of this potentially life-threatening complication.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
