Many patients admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation setting experience alteration in urinary elimination as a result of neurological changes. Urinary retention can develop due to hypotonic bladder, increased sphincter tone, absent or decreased sensation of bladder fullness, or urethral blockage. Incomplete bladder emptying can lead to such complications as urinary infection and incontinence. Rehabilitation nurses must assess patients for alterations in bladder emptying. The use of bladder ultrasound is one method now available for noninvasive measurement of bladder volume. In this article, the author reviews the implementation and results of a bladder ultrasound program at one rehabilitation facility.
许多入住住院康复机构的患者由于神经功能改变而出现排尿变化。尿潴留可能由于膀胱张力减退、括约肌张力增加、膀胱充盈感缺失或减弱，或尿道梗阻而发生。膀胱排空不完全可导致诸如尿路感染和尿失禁等并发症。康复护士必须评估患者膀胱排空情况的变化。膀胱超声检查是目前可用于无创测量膀胱容量的一种方法。在本文中，作者回顾了某康复机构膀胱超声检查项目的实施情况及结果。
