Trans-rectal prostate biopsy, Urologist
Abstract
A 72 year old, previously well gentleman attended for a day case trans-rectal prostate biopsy under the care of a consultant urologist. The procedure was carried out uneventfully and did not involve bladder irrigation. As per local protocol, he received a prophylactic dose of oral ciprofloxacin followed by a further dose at home that evening. The following morning he became generally unwell and felt nauseous. He presented to the emergency department and subsequently developed four grand mal seizures. He was treated with benzodiazepines but unfortunately appeared to have aspirated gastric contents. His conscious level remained low and so he was intubated and ventilated to facilitate ongoing assessment and management and he was transferred to the intensive care unit. He had no prior history of seizures.
