title: Quick-Wee: a novel non-invasive urine collection method.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Clean catch urine (CCU) collection in precontinent children is often time-consuming, with associated collection failure. We hypothesise that stimulating cutaneous reflexes hastens voiding for CCU.
  
  
  METHODS
  40 children aged 1-24 months in the ED. Standard CCU was augmented with gentle suprapubic cutaneous stimulation using saline-soaked gauze (Quick-Wee method).
  
  
  RESULTS
  12/40 (30%) children voided within 5 min for successful CCU. Parental and clinician satisfaction was high.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Quick-Wee appears to be a simple method to speed CCU in young children.
