title: ICS teaching module: Analysis of voiding, pressure flow analysis (basic module).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present the evidence background for an ICS teaching module for the urodynamic analysis of voiding.
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature analysis and expert opinion are combined to collate an outline and explanation of a preferred and good urodynamic practice.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patient's preparation, pathophysiology, technique and principles of pressure flow analysis are summarized in this manuscript.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This manuscript serves as scientific background for a slides set, made available on the ICS website to teach the basic and practical elements of pressure flow analysis.
