Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration

Hemoperfusion and hemofiltration are critical techniques in medical treatments to eliminate accumulated drugs, metabolites, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. These methods are particularly vital in cases of accidental poisoning and drug overdose.Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through an adsorbent material to remove unwanted substances. The main adsorbents used in hemoperfusion include activated charcoal and Amberlite resins. Activated charcoal can adsorb both polar and nonpolar...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Urinary Tract Infection IV: Nursing Management

Urinary Tract Infection IV: Nursing Management

In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs like...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Massive hematuria successfully treated by bladder irrigations with formalin solution.

C Servadio, I Nissenkorn

|February 1, 1976

Summary

Formalin bladder irrigation effectively managed severe hematuria in patients with inoperable tumors or radiation therapy complications. This minimally invasive treatment stopped bladder bleeding completely in most cases, offering a vital solution.

Area of Science:

Urology
Oncology
Medical Therapeutics

Background:

Massive hematuria presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly in patients with advanced inoperable tumors or those undergoing radiation therapy.
Conventional treatments for severe bladder bleeding may be insufficient or carry substantial risks in these vulnerable patient populations.

Observation:

Formalin irrigation of the bladder was employed as a therapeutic strategy for managing massive hematuria.
The procedure was applied to patients with intractable bleeding stemming from inoperable malignancies or radiation-induced cystitis.

Findings:

The study reports a high success rate for formalin bladder irrigation in controlling severe hematuria.
Complete cessation of bladder bleeding was observed in 7 out of 8 patients (87.5%) who underwent the procedure.
This indicates formalin irrigation's potent hemostatic effect in the urinary bladder.

Implications:

Formalin bladder irrigation offers a promising and effective treatment option for life-threatening hematuria in specific patient groups.
This approach may reduce the need for more invasive procedures or blood transfusions.
Further research could explore optimal protocols and long-term outcomes of formalin therapy for bladder hemorrhage.
