Intraoperatively, loop diuretics such as furosemide are commonly used to manage fluid overload and control blood pressure. Thiazide diuretics may also be employed in specific situations, particularly for patients with hypertension. Additionally, osmotic diuretics like mannitol can be used to reduce intracranial pressure or promote diuresis in cases of renal protection. The choice of diuretic depends on the surgical context and the patient's individual needs.
Yes, gentamicin can be used intraoperatively as a prophylactic antibiotic to prevent infections during surgery. It is commonly administered intravenously before the start of the surgical procedure.
Thiazide diuretics include such commonly used diuretics as hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL, Esidrix), chlorothiazide (Diuril), and chlorthalidone (Hygroton)
Diuretics are grouped into three main categories: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics. Each category works by different mechanisms to increase urine output and reduce fluid retention in the body. Thiazide diuretics are commonly used for treating high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are often used for reducing excess fluid in conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Potassium-sparing diuretics help maintain potassium levels while promoting diuresis.
Yes it can be recorded..clinically and intraoperatively too
Common diuretics include thiazide diuretics like hydrochlorothiazide, loop diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix), and potassium-sparing diuretics like spironolactone. Thiazide diuretics are often used to treat high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are typically prescribed for conditions like heart failure and edema. Potassium-sparing diuretics help prevent potassium loss, which can occur with other diuretics. Each type has distinct mechanisms and uses in medical treatment.
Diuretics
They might be used to reduce hypertension, for oedema, for heart failure, or when potassium loss is a concern (instead of other diuretics)
most often Lasix is used, but other diuretics can be used also.
