Training activity information
Details
Perform, analyse and interpret results to produce a written report for an retrograde leak point pressure investigation
Considerations
- Patient centred care and support
- Local, national and international guidelines and standards for ambulatory urodynamics, including use of terminology and acronyms
- Hazards and risks of procedures
- Range of equipment used and principles of measurement, including Brown-Wickham technique and air-charged catheters
- Communication skills
- Identification of artefacts, and how to adapt analysis accordingly
- Normal and abnormal ranges of results for male and female patients
- Recognition of artefacts and quality of traces
- Local protocol for reporting RLPP
- Calculation of parameters
- Reporting anomalies or deviations from protocol during the investigations
- Replication of symptoms during investigation, including appropriate provocation
- Disseminate results to relevant referring clinicians
- Authority level for provision of results
- Record keeping and documentation
