| Scientific title | Effect of warm intravenous and irrigating fluids on body temperature during transurethral resection of the prostate gland |
| Study objectives | Transurethral resection of the prostate gland with irrigation and intravenous fluids at room temperature as is currently performed often leads to a drop in the core body temperature with all the possible consequences of hypothermia. Studies have shown that with the use of isothermic irrigation fluids, the drop in the core body temperature is less but still occured in some patients. My hypothesis is that if the intravenous fluid is also isothermic before delivery into the patient along with isothermic irrigation fluid, the core body temperature of the patients SHOULD NOT drop during transurethral resection of the prostate gland. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approval received from the University of Ibadan (UI)/University College Hospital (UCH) Institutional Review Committee on the 16th August 2007 (ref: UI/IRC/07/0007). The patients will be fully informed of the study and their written informed consent obtained. There will be NO penalty for refusal to consent. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) |
| Intervention | Allocation of patients to one of three study groups will be by the picking of a ballot by the patient from a non-transparent jar containing prelabelled squeezed slips containing the group to which the patient will be assigned. Intervention: TURP using isothermic intravenous and isothermic irrigation fluids |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Hypothermia will NOT occur in the study group. |
| Secondary outcome measures | The patients will be more comfortable, have less morbidity and have a shorter hospital stay. |
