Feedback:
Uroflowmetry is a noninvasive assessment of the status of micturition and generally the first test done in a urodynamic evaluation. A residual urine volume test is done to determine if the client emptied the bladder completely. A cystometrogram (CMG) is a measurement of bladder pressure during filling. A urethral pressure profile (UPP) is another way to evaluate the smooth muscle activity along the urethra.
