Üroflovmetri Yardımıyla Alt Üriner Sistemin Fonksiyonel Değerlendirilmesinde Dikkat Edilmesi Gerekenler

Abstract

Üroflovmetri, günümüzde alt üriner sistemin fonksiyonel değerlendirilmesinde en
sık kullanılan ve göreceli olarak objektif bilgi sağlayabilen bir tanı aracıdır. Alt
üriner sistem bozukluklarının tanısında ilk basamak tanı testi olan üroflovmetri
sonuçları birçok faktörden etkilenebilmektedir. Bu derlemede alt üriner sistem
değerlendirmesinde üroflovmetrininen uygun olarak kullanılabilmesi için gereken
bilgiler; üroflovmetri testinin istendiği durumlar, üroflovmetri sonuçlarının
doğruluğunu etkileyen durumlar, mesane doluluğu ile ilgili hastanın dikkat etmesi
gereken noktalar, hasta mahremiyetinin sağlanması, üroflovmetri odasının
özellikleri, üroflovmetri cihazları ve kalibrasyon, üroflovmetri testinin
değerlendirilmesi, üroflovmetri işleminde hemşirenin görev ve sorumlulukları
başlıkları altında açıklanmıştır. Bu sayede ülkemizde hemşirelik uygulamalarında
yüksek standardın yakalanması ve hastaların en uygun tanı hizmetini alması
hedeflenmektedir.

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

Abstract

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