Basic Urodynamics in a Nutshell

Urodynamic testing provides valuable and useful information for the care of urologic patients with voiding dysfunction; however, it can be daunting to perform and interpret. This informative and dynamic session takes participants through the entire process beginning with the rationale for “why we do what we do”, how voiding dysfunction impacts the bladder through set-up, troubleshooting, and interpretation. Games and case studies are also used to “pull it all together.”

Included in the workshop registration fee are copies of the CD, Traces: Making Sense of Urodynamics Testing by Dr. Mikel Gray, as well as A Practical Guide to Performing Urdynamics manual.
