ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
An intravesical gas explosion is a rare complication of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). It was first reported in English literature in 1926, and up to 2022 were only forty-one cases. Injury from an intravesical gas explosion, in the most severe cases appearing as extraperitoneal or intraperitoneal bladder rupture needed emergent repair surgery. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 75-year-old man who suffered an intravesical gas explosion during TURP. The patient underwent an emergent exploratory laparotomy for bladder repair and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further observation and treatment. Under the medical team's care for up to sixty days, the patient recovered smoothly without clinical sequelae.CONCLUSIONS:
This case report presents an example of a rare complication of intravesical gas explosion during TURP, utilizing root cause analysis (RCA) to comprehend causal relationships and team strategies and tools to improve performance and patient safety (TeamSTEPPS) method delivers four teamwork skills that can be utilized during surgery and five recommendations to avoid gas explosions during TURP to prevent the recurrence of medical errors. In modern healthcare systems, promoting patient safety is crucial. Once complications appear, RCA and TeamSTEPPS are helpful means to support the healthcare team reflect and improve as a team.Mots clés
