New method for measuring bladder pressure.
We measured intramural pressure of the bladder using a pressure transducer embedded between bladder mucosa and muscle layers in female dogs. Intravesical pressure was recorded simultaneously by conventional transurethral catheter method. Results from the former showed slightly lower values than the latter, but both correlated well in all pressure ranges.
