Effect of furosemide on postprostatectomy blood loss.
The value of induced diuresis, employing furosemide, on blood loss during and after prostatectomy is evaluated. Two series of 100 patients (consecutive) undergoing prostatectomy, one series with furosemide and one without, are compared. The conclusion drawn from critical analysis is that induced diuresis with furosemide is beneficial in reducing blood loss.
