Abnormal deviation in the measurement of residual urine volume using a portable ultrasound bladder scanner: a case report.

ABSTRACT: In addition to being suitable for the assessment of residual urine volume, the use of a portable bladder scanner can also assist medical staff in developing a reasonable urination plan. Portable scanners can help medical personnel to estimate the height and/or relaxation of the bladder neck for pelvic floor muscle training, assist in the efficacy evaluation of muscarinic antagonists in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, and even determine whether the urine in the bladder of pediatric patients meets the criteria for catheterization to obtain urine samples. However, in the case described herein, we encountered abnormal deviation between the data measured by a portal bladder scanner and actual catheterization. The patient was a 65-year-old male suffering spinal nerve dysfunction
