Assessment of Postoperative Postvoid Residual Bladder Volume Using Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Volumetry

Use of urinary bladder measurements from a point‐of‐care cysto‐colic ultrasonographic view to estimate urinary bladder volume in dogs and cats

“…These radiographic and ultrasonographic formulas are not only more complex, and cross‐sectional ultrasound measurements more technically challenging, but neither provided clear clinically relevant advantages over simple linear measurements . It also has been shown that 2‐dimensional ultrasound measurements are inferior to 3‐dimensional measurements; however, 3‐dimensional ultrasound is not only limited in availability, but also may not provide any clinically relevant advantage over simple linear formulas. Positioning comparisons between dorsal and lateral recumbency regarding urinary bladder volume have also been performed .…”

“…Sedation may be required, which carries risk especially in the critically or acutely ill patient. Furthermore, urinary bladder catheterization can cause urethral trauma and iatrogenic urinary tract infection . Handling urine can expose staff members to drug metabolites and infectious diseases .…”

The accuracy of three-dimensional bladder ultrasonography in determining the residual urinary volume compared with conventional catheterisation

“…The utility of the bladder scan was assessed in various clinical situations. Bozsa et al [20] assessed its utility for estimating the PVR volume after radical hysterectomy, comparing the US-estimated volume with that from catheterisation. They reported that both non-invasive three-dimensional US methods are appropriate for the correct volume determination of PVR after radical hysterectomy.…”

The effect of clamping the indwelling urinary catheter before removal in cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy

“…If the patients could urinate spontaneously after catheter removal, they were sent for residual urine volume (RUV) measurement by a three‐dimensional ultrasound (GE healthcare, Milwaukee, USA), which has been verified to correctly assess RUV following radical hysterectomy (Bozsa et al . ). If the patient could urinate spontaneously but the RUV was >200 ml, a second measurement was performed 48 hours after catheter removal.…”
