UI Flashcards
OAB definition
Overwhelming sensation of needing to void (urgency) with or without the involuntary loss of urine usually with frequency and nocturia
Urge incontinence definition
Overwhelming sensation of needing to void (urgency) with the involuntary loss of urine
Sympathetic nerve supply to detrusor muscle with action and neurochemical
Hypogastric nerve
Relaxation of detrusor - bladder filling
Norepinephrine
Parasympathetic inner action of detrusor muscle with action and nuerochemical
Pelvic nerve
Detrusor contraction-bladder emptying
Acetylcholine
PVR
Remaining urine in the bladder following a void
Urotlometry
Urinary flow rates an flow patterns
Low flow rate ma indicate bladder outlet obstruction
Valsalva leak point pressure
Test of the urethral sphincter resistance against increases in intra-abdominal pressure
Pressure-flow study (Cstometrography)
Assessed bladder capacity, bladder compliance, and the presence of phasic contractions
Cystography
Shows presence of SUI, degree of urethral motion, and presence of cystocele
EMG (electromyography)
Used to distinguish coordinated voiding from uncoordinated voiding (failure of urethral relaxation during bladder contraction)
