Intravascular absorption syndrome as a complication of surgical hysteroscopy
https://doi.org/10.58708/2074-2088.2025-3(35)-81-88
Abstract
The article is devoted to the most formidable complication of hysteroresectoscopy – intravascular absorption syndrome. The analysis of literary data with determination of the causes of the syndrome, clinical manifestations, diagnostic aspects and treatment tactics is carried out. The frequency of occurrence of the syndrome is 0,20%. Clinical manifestations are characterized by the increase of neurological symptoms, which depend on the level of sodium in the blood and can lead to pulmonary edema, cerebral edema with possible lethal outcome. The main principle of treatment is correction of electrolyte disturbances, namely sodium. In case of development of acute kidney injury – timely treatment using hemodialysis, and in case of heart failure – extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
