Abstract
Abstract
Backgroud
To evaluate four different alternatives to the classical cough test during a urodynamic study in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods
Patients who needed to undergo a urodynamic study (UDS) at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University between April 2021 and May 2021 were randomly selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. During the UDS process, we used four alternative methods to the “cough test”: 1) quickly pressing the bladder area, 2) performing the Valsalva maneuver, 3) performing the Kegel maneuver, and 4) letting the patient close their mouth while performing the cough test. The "cough" waveform amplitudes and characteristics of the graphics were obtained and compared with the classical cough test.
Results
A total of 120 patients (89 men, 31 women) were included in the study. There was no significant difference between the cough waveform amplitude induced by the Valsalva maneuver compared with the classical cough test (P = 0.182); there was no significant difference between the cough waveform amplitude induced by the cough test with the mouth closed and the classical cough test (P = 0.342); there was no significant difference between pressing quickly on the bladder area and the classical method (P = 0.076); and there was a significant difference between the data obtained by the Kegel maneuver and the classical method (P < 0.05). The average "cough" amplitudes obtained were 73.14 ± 22.48 cm H2O, 66.17 ± 17.12 cm H2O, 82.93 ± 18.95 cm H2O, 26.50 ± 8.68 cm H2O, and 68.90 ± 20.32 cm H2O by the classical cough test, by quickly pressing the bladder area, by the Valsalva maneuver, by the Kegel maneuver, and by coughing with a closed mouth, respectively.
Conclusion
Quickly pressing the bladder area, performing the Valsalva maneuver, and letting the patient close their mouth while performing the cough test can all provide effective cough waveforms and amplitudes.
