Abstract
This study was designed to weigh the advantages of using hypertonic saline (3%) as fluid therapy in 60 ASA I-II patients divided into 3 groups, undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate regarding electrolyte balance, osmolality and hemodynamics, over using normal saline (0.9%) or lactated ringer solution. Our results demonstrated that using hypertonic saline (3%) in TURP, provides stabilization of haemodynamics following the subarachnoid anesthetic block, also prevents the incidence of dilutional hyponatremia following the volume overload caused by the absorption of the irrigating fluid, by maintaining serum Na level and serum osmolality
