Intravenous glycopyrrolate for priapism following Spinal Anaesthesia in TURP
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract Priapism has been reported following spinal anaesthesia for urological procedures. It may pose a challenge to the urologist for any urethral intervention during the surgery. We present a case of occurrence of priapism in a patient posted for transurethral resection of prostrate following spinal anaesthesia and the manner we treated it. Literatures have advocated various techniques of treating this intraoperative complication, e.g. the intracorporeal injection of vasopressors, subcutaneous or intravenous terbutaline and intravenous glycopyrrolate. In our case, we successfully used intravenous glycopyrrolate to treat this complication.
