Urethral Pressure Profile (UPP)
Nexam Pro User Manual
101
Resting bladder pressure
The resting bladder pressure is the urethra pressure at the position of the
profile begin
marker. It is only calculated when the profile begin marker is
present.
At the moment the profile starts (just before the urethral pressure increases
because the catheter reaches the beginning of the urethra), the transducer
measuring the urethral pressure Pura is still in the bladder; hence, this is the
resting bladder pressure.
Calculated: Resting bladder pressure = [F].
Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure (MUCP)
Calculation method
The Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure (MUCP) can be calculated in two
ways:
•
MUCP = Max P
ura
– P
ves
(ura)
•
MUCP = Max (P
ura
– P
ves
) default
In the analysis program, you can define how to calculate the Maximum
Closure Pressure. Choose

from the menu.

MUCP is the difference between the maximum urethral pressure and the
resting bladder pressure.
Max P

is the maximum urethral pressure (P

) between the Profile start
marker and the Profile end marker. P

(ura) is the resting bladder pressure.
This is the pressure at the position of the Profile start marker on the urethral
channel (P

). At the moment the profile starts (just before the urethral
