Urodynamics testing is used to describe lower urinary tract function, and diagnose functional disorders affecting the bladder, urethra, and pelvic floor. Urologic clinicians play a central role in urodynamics testing; they are primarily responsible for performing more than 75% of evaluations completed in North America. While the value of a well-done urodynamics assessment is well established, comparatively few clinicians have received formal training in the area. This article describes hydrodynamic principles underlying the measurement of intravesical, abdominal, and detrusor pressures. This is the first in a series of articles that will review principles of best urodynamics practices.
尿动力学检查用于描述下尿路功能,并诊断影响膀胱、尿道和盆底的功能障碍。泌尿外科临床医生在尿动力学检查中起着核心作用;在北美完成的评估中,超过75%主要由他们负责进行。虽然完善的尿动力学评估的价值已得到充分证实,但相对较少的临床医生接受过该领域的正规培训。本文描述了测量膀胱内压、腹压和逼尿肌压力所依据的流体动力学原理。这是一系列回顾最佳尿动力学实践原则的文章中的第一篇。
