Abstract
- From January 1981 to December 1981, a program of blood loss measurement was undertaken to monitor the actual loss of blood resulting from transurethral prostatic resection. An accurate measurement of blood loss was obtained by Hemoglobincyanide method, a colorimetric determination of hemoglobin in the irrigating fluid, and the measured losses were correlated with several related factors. Followings were the results: 1. Blood loss ranged from 40 to 546 ml and its mean was 170 ml. 2. Blood loss averaged 22.2 ml per gram of tissue resected, and 2.4 ml per minute of resection time. 3. A statistically significant positive interrelationship was found among operative blood loss, weight of tissue resected and resection time. 4. Hemoglobincyanide method was simple enough to be used routinely.
