Rapid and slow-fill gas cystometry. Influence on bladder capacity and diagnosis of hyperreflexic bladder.
Rapid-fill gas cystometry has been criticized for giving a falsely low value of bladder volume and for inducing an "artefact", the hyperreflexic bladder. This study in 72 patients revealed that the average capacity with slow-fill air cystometry was less than with rapid fill. The diagnosis of hyperreflexic bladder was made more often with slow fill than with rapid fill in these 72 patients.
