Interpretation of Urodynamics consists of the 3 C’s and 2 S’s. The 3 C refers to the sphincter’s Capacity, Compliance, and Competence. The 2 S’s refer to Sensation and Stability.
Bladder capacity is studied to determine the amount of fluid the bladder holds. Compliance is the ability of the bladder wall to distend. The relationship between change in the bladder volume and change in the detrusor pressure is measured.
The EFP or (End Filling Pressure) should be below 15cmH20. The EFP (End Filling Pressure) of 40cmH20 or greater may lead to high risk to the upper tract. The competence of the sphincter is the ability of the external striated muscle to hold urine and to relax and release urine. This can be evaluated by using VLPP (Valsalva Leak Point Pressure). The VLPP is automatically marked and calculated with a simple keystroke.
Patient sentiments are recorded during the filling phase. Volume, pressures, and psychosocial environment affect a patient’s feelings. According to ICS, Morpheus® has conveniently placed study markers to indicate these sensations.
Stability refers to the detrusor function during filling. Normal detrusor function allows bladder filling with little or no change in pressure. Detrusor overactivity is a urodynamic observation characterized by involuntary detrusor contractions during the filling phase, which may be spontaneous or provoked. During the study, convenient study markers can be placed with a click of a button or tap of the touch screen.
A video urodynamic test is a diagnostic procedure that combines cystometry and fluoroscopy to evaluate the bladder and urinary tract function during urination. It is typically performed to diagnose urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and other disorders.
During a video urodynamic test, a catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to measure bladder pressure and urine flow rate. Another catheter is placed in the rectum to measure intra-abdominal pressure. The patient is then positioned under a fluoroscopy machine, which uses X-rays to produce real-time images of the urinary tract as the patient urinates. The procedure may also include a pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the structures of the pelvic area.
The video urodynamic test provides detailed information about bladder and urethral function, including bladder capacity, sensation, and obstructions or abnormalities. It can also identify the type of urinary incontinence and help determine the most appropriate treatment.
The test is usually performed in a hospital or clinic setting and can take approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete. It is generally considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure, although some patients may experience mild discomfort during catheter insertion or urination.
