Evidence-Based Framework for Surgical Irrigation Fluid Stewardship and Endoscopic Case Prioritization During Fluid Shortages
Among endoscopic urology cases, the 4 most fluid-intensive procedures consume 42% of surgical irrigation fluid. A case prioritization framework that accounts for fluid consumption and clinical urgency can help urology practices navigate potential case deferrals. Fluid stewardship principles may optimize fluid conservation to minimize adverse impact on patients and trainees.
