Traces: making sense of urodynamics testing--Part 10: evaluation of micturition via the voiding pressure-flow study.
Part 10 of the Traces series focuses on urodynamics evaluation of micturition via the voiding pressure-flow study (VPS). This article reviews techniques for generating a high-quality voiding pressure-flow study and initial interpretation of findings. Part 11 of the Traces series will focus on advanced analysis of the VPS using nomograms that measure the magnitude of urethral resistance (bladder outflow obstruction) and detrusor contraction strength.
