The Effects of Irrigation Fluid on Core Temperature in Endoscopic Urological Surgery

Irrigating fluids are commonly used in endoscopic urological surgery. Recent studies have shown a benefit in using irrigant fluids warmed to body temperature to prevent the undesirable effects of cooling, including impaired coagulation function, reduced levels of drug clearance and shivering resulting in increase in oxygen requirements causing potential myocardial ischaemia.
