The prevention of PUR by routine catheterization may increase the risk of urinary tract infection. Post\u2010operative monitoring of the bladder volume is a reliable method in adults, but has not been evaluated for reliability in children.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Forty\u2010eight patients who, according to current clinical guidelines, required urinary bladder emptying were scanned before catheterization using the Bladderscan<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>.

In the subpopulation in whom complete bladder emptying could be confirmed by fluoroscopy (14 children; median age, 3\u2003years; range, 1\u201311\u2003years), the mean difference between the ultrasound estimates and the catheter\u2010emptied volumes was\u2003\u221211\u2003ml (SD\u2003=\u200324\u2003ml).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> This study confirms agreement between the ultrasound scanner estimates of urinary bladder volume and the urine volume measured by emptying the bladder. Reliability was good in children above the age of 3\u2003years. The volume was underestimated in younger children. Thus, routine monitoring of urinary bladder volume with an ultrasound scanner is a non\u2010invasive, pain\u2010free and reliable way of preventing over\u2010distension of the urinary bladder in children after surgery and other procedures under general anaesthesia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2005.00817.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,15]],"date-time":"2005-11-15T15:18:40Z","timestamp":1132067920000},"page":"1456-1459","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Monitoring urinary bladder volume and detecting post\u2010operative urinary retention in children with an ultrasound scanner"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"L.
