“…However, hypertonic saline, which is a treatment originally proposed by Dr Harrison [6], operates as a diuretic and reverses, in contrast to frusemide, the underlying aberrations of electrolyte status and fluid distribution [17]. Scientific studies hold that reducing the bag height and administering frusemide are of no value and potentially dangerous, respectively, in preventing TUR syndrome, while hypertonic saline works as a remedy and improves survival [15,18,19]. The use of the ethanol method for the early detection of fluid absorption makes it possible to start treatment before severe TUR syndrome develops.…”
