bladder is measured. It is used to assess detrusor activity, sensation, capacity
and compliance.
5.2 Channels
The following channels can be measured during a cystometry:
•
Vesical pressure P
ves
(P1)
•
Abdominal pressure P

•
Urethral pressure P

During a cystometry investigation, the patient should be awake, un-
anaesthetized, and neither sedated nor taking drugs that affect bladder
function. Any variations should be specified.
