DATE OF PROCEDURE [Date]. BRIEF HISTORY Ms. [Name] a 45-year-old who had an incidentally noted urethral diverticulum on CAT scan. She does describe a persistent microhematuria, as well as some mild voiding discomfort. She underwent an MRI which showed a circumferential septated diverticulum. She presents today for urodynamics for evaluation. On urodynamics she demonstrated a stable filling with no evidence of detrusor overactivity. Her sensation was normal. Her bladder capacity was approximately

a minority of cysteine. Inadequate fluid intake is the strongest environmental factor associated with stone formation. Also implicated in the etiopathogenesis of ureteric calculi are heredity, diet, anatomical abnormalities of the urinary tract and chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs). Hormonal imbalances and metabolic derangements, as well as hot/ dry climates, are also linked to ureteric calculi. Patients with stones in the ureters may present with colicky pain that is abrupt in onset and

Indicator goes around every morning to each and every patient that possesses a urinary catheter and asks his or her nurse “What is the reason for the urinary catheter?” and “Can we remove the urinary catheter?” Our organization has put guidelines into action for patients in critical care. These guidelines have been named “No Plastic Left Behind” and are posted throughout the critical care units. The list for when the urinary catheter is not indicated includes, tube feedings, pressors with minimal titration

visit, I assisted the GP to insert an indwelling foley catheter into this resident since for the past days, the patient had urinary incontinence. A midstream urine sample was collected through the sterile catheter bag. The dipstick analysis indicated that urine was positive of leukocyte esterase, nitrates, protein, and blood which all lead to the doctor’s diagnosis as Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). A nitrofurantoin anti-biotic was prescribed. With these information in mind, I began exploring the

indwelling urinary catheter can be inserted for a long period with frequent changes between 4-6 weeks (Taylor, Lillis, LeMone, & Lynn, 2011). However, the Foley can also be a potential source for UTI and bacteriuria (Taylor et al., 2011). The necessity of reducing the patient’s period of time on a Foley and helping him or her to quickly regain normal bladder function is significant. Performing bladder training through clamping the urinary catheter is reported to decrease the frequency of urinary retention

Urinary tract infections (UTI) is a disorder of the urinary system. Urinary tract infections take second place in the category of most common infections in the body. They are caused when bacteria infringes upon and multiplies in the urinary tract. The urethra is the point of entry for bacteria. Women are susceptible to UTI’s than men due to the shortness of the female urethra compared to the length of the male urethra. The common signs and symptoms of UTI’s are pain and burning while urinating

A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system such as the kidneys, bladder, or the urethra. A urinary tract infection can also be abbreviated as UTI. How can you get a UTI, both genders can get the infection but it is a lot more common for females to get a UTI than males, the reason is women are often told to wipe from front to back after using the bathroom for a reason, that’s because the urethra which is the tube that transports urine from the bladder to the outside

Cystoscopy and ureteroscopy are diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, usually performed by urologists, or doctors who specialize in diseases of the urinary tract. These procedures use endoscopes to look into the organs of interest, and they are aimed at direct visualization of the interior of the ureters and the bladder in order to diagnose (and sometimes treat) urinary complaints. Cystoscopy Cystoscopy is a procedure that uses a long thin optical instrument (also known as cystoscope), with an eyepiece and

Urinary Incontinence Urinary Incontinence (UI) is defined as the involuntary passing of urine. This can easily be confused with the disease that causes an excessive amount of urine, known as polyuria. Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control that causes leakage ranging from small amounts to large amounts and can be an extremely uncomfortable feeling for the animal as well as an annoyance for the pet owner. Depending on the cause, there are many different options to help control this condition

friends. To make full use of her summer break, Andrea made a checklist of places to visit, including the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Great America, and Monterey Bay Aquarium. Much to her dismay, her plans came to a screeching halt after she developed a urinary tract infection. A month before she left for college, Andrea noticed that something was wrong with her body. All of a sudden, she felt the urge to go to the bathroom frequently. Yet, when she tried to urinate, she experienced a burning sensation even
