Nursing Care of Children with Neurogenic Bladder Undergoing Video-Urodynamics Study
Keywords:
nursing care, children, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, video-urodynamics studyAbstract
Neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children is an abnormality in bladder and/or urinary sphincter function from neurological congenital disorders. This condition can be a result of lesions in the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves that control bladder and urinary sphincter function. It significantly increases risks of incontinence, urinary tract infection and vesicoureteral reflux. If left untreated, it may result in long term sequelae such as hypertension and kidney failure. Video-urodynamics study is a gold-standard investigation for patients with neurogenic bladder aiding in the detection of functional and anatomical abnormalities of the lower urinary tract. The test results can be used as a guidance for proper management and follow-up. Pediatric patients and caregivers often experience anxiety and fear regarding the test and its potential complications. Nurses at the urodynamics suite play a pivotal role in comforting patients and caregivers by providing procedural information and compassionate care beforehand. Therefore, it is essential for the nurses to have a sufficient knowledge about video-urodynamics study and periprocedural care. Additionally, they should be able to early detect any abnormal symptoms related to the test to prevent any complications during and after the investigation. Also, they should be able to prepare a suite and necessary equipment for the procedure correctly. Ultimately, the overarching goal of periprocedural nursing care is to prioritize patients’ safety and satisfaction.
