Markedly elevated blood pressure, tachycardia, and altered consciousness in patients with bacteremia during transurethral surgeries: two case reports.
Article in JA clinical reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTransurethral surgery is often accompanied by postoperative urinary tract infection. Although early detection and adequate treatment of bacteremia are required to prevent sepsis, it is usually undetectable during surgery. We report two cases with remarkable hypertension and tachycardia during transurethral surgery in which bacteremia was diagnosed by an intraoperative blood test. CASE PRESENTATION: An 80-year-old man (Case 1) underwent transurethral holmium laser prostate enucleation under spinal anesthesia, and an 88-year-old woman (Case 2) underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor under general anesthesia. Altered consciousness (Case 1) and postoperative delirium (Case 2) were noted, in addition to remarkable intraoperative hypertension and tachycardia. We administered broad-spectrum antibiotics for possible bacteremia in both cases. The patients' hemodynamics positively recovered the following day. Intraoperative blood samples revealed gram-negative bacillus.
conclusionsHypertension, tachycardia, and altered consciousness may suggest the onset of symptomatic bacteremia during transurethral surgery, and adequate treatment is required to prevent sepsis.
