A URODYNAMIC STUDY The Whole Works Wendy McArthur
Components Of Test • Homework • Free Flow • Transperineal Scan • Peritron Test • Cystometry • Leak Point Pressure • Pressure Flow
Urodynamics • Examination of the lower urinary tract • Test the bladder pressures during filling and emptying • Helps determine the cause of bladder symptoms
Aim Of Urodynamics • To reproduce the symptoms under controlled and measured conditions • Need technically reliable measurements • Experience so technique is second nature • put patient at ease • reproduce their usual behaviour
Homework • Uro Kit includes • Questionnaire • Bladder Diary • Pad Test • MSU Form
Questionnaire • Relating to bladder symptoms • Relevant medical history • Obstetric history • Medications
Bladder Diary • Recordings over 24hours • Fluid intake • Fluid output • Guage output volumes • Frequency • Nocturia
Pad Test • Pre weighed pad • Drink 1 litre of water • Wait 1 hour • Do set exercises with pad in pants • Remove pad • Measure urine • Weigh pad when returned
Laboratory Tests • Mid stream Urine • Urine Cytology for pts over 60
Free Flow • Full bladder • Privacy, normal as possible • Measures • voiding time • flow rate • time to maximum flow • volume passed
Transperineal Scan • Measure descent of bladder neck • Push into bottom
Peritron • Measures strength of pelvic floor muscles • Probe in vagina • Connect to abdominal pressure line • Squeeze and hold - try for 40 seconds • Normal strength = 30-40 cm H2O
Cystometogram • Recording of bladder pressure as filled • Sensory catheter in bladder = Pves • Balloon catheter in rectum = Pabd • Computer calculation of detrussor pressure Pdet = Pves - Pabd
Assessment of Cystometogram • Note first sensation in bladder • First urge - about 50% capacity • Normal desire - able to hold on • Strong desire - persistant with no leakage • Does the bladder relax and accommodate the fluid • Does the detrussor pressure stay even
Leak Point Pressure • Valsalva movement sitting • Full bladder • Cough standing • Measure leak point pressure
Pressure Flow • Pressure lines recording • Detrussor pressure • Abdomonal pressure
