Although urethral catheterization is the "gold standard" for accurate bladder urine volume measurement in all patients, the discomfort associated with its use makes it less than ideal in pediatric urologic practice. Portable ultrasound scanners have been demonstrated to be an acceptable alternative in adults in several studies, but little data exists on their use in children. A portable ultrasound scanner that automatically calculates the bladder urine volume was used for 40 separate determinations and correlated with bladder urine volume measured by urethral catheterization (coefficient of correlation = 0.759). The scanner is reasonably accurate, well-tolerated and a useful alternative to urethral catheterization for measuring bladder urine volume.
尽管尿道插管是所有患者准确测量膀胱尿量的“金标准”，但其使用带来的不适使其在小儿泌尿外科实践中不尽理想。多项研究表明，便携式超声扫描仪在成人中是一种可接受的替代方法，但关于其在儿童中的使用数据很少。使用一台能自动计算膀胱尿量的便携式超声扫描仪进行了40次独立测定，并与通过尿道插管测量的膀胱尿量进行相关性分析（相关系数=0.759）。该扫描仪准确性较高、耐受性良好，是测量膀胱尿量时尿道插管的一种有用替代方法。
