Carbon dioxide-urethral pressure profile in female incontinence.
Herein we describe a method to assess urethral dynamics in women with urinary incontinence, using a carbon dioxide cystometer. The parameters evaluated are the maximum urethral closing pressure, functional urethral length, active continence, transmission of intra-abdominal pressure to the urethral pressure and changes when patients are in the supine and erect positions.
