Estimating postvoid residual volume without measuring residual bladder volume during serial cystometrograms.
The postvoid residual volume (PVR) is a common urodynamic parameter used to quantify the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction. However, the serial cystometrograms that are typically used to assess bladder function in animal models make measuring PVR very difficult. Current approaches are to either remove PVR after each void to measure it, which is disruptive to the bladder, or to neglect...
متن کاملTransabdominal ultrasound in the assessment of postvoid residual urine volume in patients after hysterectomy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between assessment of postvoid residual urine by transabdominal ultrasound and catheterization in patients after radical or transvaginal hysterectomy. MATERIAL AND METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted and 46 patients were enrolled after they had radical and transvaginal hysterectomy. After surgery, urinary catheter was indwelled. After catheter re...
متن کاملTotal lung capacity, residual volume and predicted residual volume in a densitometric study of older men.
Results of investigations using various lung volumes for hydrostatic weighing determinations (HWD) appear to be inconclusive. Often, these lung volumes are predicted and not clinically determined. For this reason, total lung capacity (TLC), a measured residual volume (RV), and a predicted residual volume (PRV) were used during HWDs to compare the techniques. Twenty-five older men, 56 to 70 year...
متن کاملUltrasound bladder scanner presents falsely elevated postvoid residual volumes.
Case description An 83-year-old woman with severe Alzheimer dementia was admitted with verbal and physical aggression to the acute Care of the Elderly unit. Because the patient had incontinence, postvoid residual (PVR) volumes were measured using a portable ultrasound bladder scanner. Postvoid residual urine volumes, measured on several different occasions, ranged from 403 to 855 mL, with only ...
متن کاملCALCULATION OF RESIDUAL VOLUME BY SPIROMETRIC DATA
ABSTRACT Background: The current practice to measure RV is either by BPG or helium dilution methods which may not be available in all clinics due to their cost. Methods: This paper outlines a method for both direct and indirect calculation of RV via PFT with acceptable sensitivity (81 %, 60% ), specificity (71 %, 94%) and validity (76%, 78%) for obstructive and restrictive lung disease respect...
