Bladder Disorders Flashcards
What part of the brain is responsible for urination?
Afferent activity stim pontine micturation center to initiate voluntary void
What is the effect of PNS stimulation of bladder?
Bladder outlet and sphincter relaxation
Coordinated contraction of bladder smooth muscle
What is urinary incontinence?
Invol loss of urine
Bladder/sphincter dysfunction or both
What are the types of Bladder dysfunction?
Urge incontinence
-detrusor overactivity
-poor detrusorcompliance
Overflow incontinence
What are the types of Outlet dysfunction?
Anatomic Stress incontinence
Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency
What are the Potentially reversible transient causes of Urinary incontinence?
DIAPERS Delirium/Cog impairment Infection Atrophic Vaginitis/urethritis Pharm/meds Excessive urine output Restricted mobility Stool impaction
What types of meds Cause transient Urinary incontinence?
Sedatives Diuretics Anticholinergics Alpha-Adr Alpha-Ant
What is included in an Incontinence Evaluation?
Urinalysis Urine Culture Post void residual volume measurement Voiding Diary Pelvic exam for urethral hypermobility/prolapse Urodynamics Cystoscopy
What constitutes Overactive Bladder?
Frequency and urgency w/without urge incontinence
What constitutes Urge Urinary Incontinence
Involuntary Urine Leak w/ strong sudden desire to urinate
Bladder pressure overcomes sphincter mechanism
What constitutes Detrusor Overactivity?
Intermittent involuntary bladder contractions
Idiopathic or neurogenic
What constitutes Poor Compliance of Bladder?
Incremental rise in pressure as bladder vol increases
Loss of viscoelastic properties or disrupt of neuro reg
How do Anticholinergics help with incontinence?
UUI/OAB
Inhibits invol. detrusor muscle cont. by blocking muscarinic receptors
What are SE and Contraindications of Antichol?
SE: Dry mouth, Constipation, urinary retention, nausea, blurred vision, drowsiness, Confusion
ContIn: Narrow angle Glaucoma
How do Beta 3 Antagonists help with incontinence?
Inhibits involuntary detrusor muscle contraction by activating B3 receptors
