Üroflovmetri Yardımıyla Alt Üriner Sistemin Fonksiyonel Değerlendirilmesinde Dikkat Edilmesi Gerekenler

Üroflovmetri, günümüzde alt üriner sistemin fonksiyonel değerlendirilmesinde ensık kullanılan ve göreceli olarak objektif bilgi sağlayabilen bir tanı aracıdır. Altüriner sistem bozukluklarının tanısında ilk basamak tanı testi olan üroflovmetrisonuçları birçok faktörden etkilenebilmektedir. Bu derlemede alt üriner sistemdeğerlendirmesinde üroflovmetrininen uygun olarak kullanılabilmesi için gerekenbilgiler; üroflovmetri testinin istendiği durumlar, üroflovmetri sonuçlarınındoğruluğunu etkileyen durumlar, mesane doluluğu ile ilgili hastanın dikkat etmesigereken noktalar, hasta mahremiyetinin sağlanması, üroflovmetri odasınınözellikleri, üroflovmetri cihazları ve kalibrasyon, üroflovmetri testinindeğerlendirilmesi, üroflovmetri işleminde hemşirenin görev ve sorumluluklarıbaşlıkları altında açıklanmıştır. Bu sayede ülkemizde hemşirelik uygulamalarındayüksek standardın yakalanması ve hastaların en uygun tanı hizmetini almasıhedeflenmektedir.

Points to be Considered in Functional Evaluation of the Lower Urinary Tract by Using Uroflovmetry

Uroflowmetry is one of the most commonly used diagnostic test that givesrelatively objective information about the lower urinary tract function.Uroflowmetry is the first-line diagnostic test in the diagnosis of lower urinarytract disorders. The results of uroflowmetry may be affected by various factors.This review underlines key points for better standardization and optimal use ofuroflowmetry: The conditions that request of uroflowmetry test, the conditionsthat affecting the accuracy of uroflowmetry results, points that the patient shouldpay attention for regarding bladder fullness, ensuring the patient privacy, featuresof the uroflowmetry room, uroflowmetry devices and calibration, evaluation ofuroflowmetry test, responsibilities of the nurse in uroflowmetry procedure. Thus,we aim to obtain higher standards in nursing practices and patient care in ourcountry.
