Much of the literature available on bladder ultrasound technology addresses the accuracy of the equipment, with little research on the clinical outcomes or benefits of the intervention.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods.\u2002<\/jats:bold> A quasi\u2010experimental design was adopted. Data were collected from March 2001 to May 2001 in a control group in two neurosurgical units in Taiwan. During July and August 2001, nurses were taught how to operate a portable ultrasound machine and how to implement the programme. Data were collected from September to November 2001 in the study group.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The rates of unnecessary catheterization in the control group and the study group were 35\u00b73% and 7\u00b70%, respectively. The urine volume (more than 500\u2003mL) in the control group and the study group were 13\u00b74% and 20\u00b73%, respectively. The study group had a statistically significantly lower average catheterization volume than that of the control group (676\u00b79\u2003mL vs. 777\u00b71\u2003mL, <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20031\u00b784, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030\u00b705). During 3\u2003months before and after the implementation of the programme, the urinary tract infection rates in the control group and the study group were 3\u00b747% and 2\u00b787%, respectively. After 6\u2003months the urinary tract infection rates decreased to 1\u00b739%.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The bladder ultrasound programme was successful and could be used to manage patients with urination disorders in neurosurgical units.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.04080.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,6]],"date-time":"2006-12-06T11:32:33Z","timestamp":1165404753000},"page":"192-200","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["The effectiveness of implementing a bladder ultrasound programme in neurosurgical units"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Yuh\u2010Yun","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen\u2010Lin","family":"Tsay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meei\u2010Fang","family":"Lou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu\u2010Tzu","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/014436104000018081"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02765813"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.2048-7940.2001.tb01950.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006416-200019030-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2003.08.007"},{"issue":"33","key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"46","article-title":"Intermittent catheterization for post\u2010operative urine retention","volume":"93","author":"Jolley S.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Nursing Times"},{"issue":"41","key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","first-page":"80","article-title":"No holding back","volume":"92","author":"Jolley S.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Nursing Times"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","first-page":"251","article-title":"Cost\u2010effectiveness analysis of portable bladder scan for measuring urine volume","volume":"4","author":"Lee Y.Y.","year":"2000","journal-title":"Formosan Journal of Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.NAJ.0000390115.56605.96"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","first-page":"341","article-title":"A survey on incidence and factors that may influence first postoperative urination","volume":"23","author":"Ringdal M.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Urologic Nursing"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1399-6576.2002.t01-1-460309.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-6553(00)90015-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2346.1999.00522.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001786-200407000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.JNR.0000387543.68383.a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","first-page":"304","article-title":"Exploring the research base and outcome measures for portable bladder ultrasound technology","volume":"6","author":"Wagner M.L.","year":"1997","journal-title":"MEDSURG Nursing"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1089-9472(00)52586-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0098-9134-19930201-05"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3522038"}],"container-title":["Journal of Advanced Nursing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1365-2648.2006.04080.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.04080.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]],"date-time":"2023-10-12T13:11:24Z","timestamp":1697116284000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.04080.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,1]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.04080.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.04080.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0309-2402","1365-2648"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0309-2402","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-2648","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,1]]}}}
