In medicine, urinary retention is "inability to empty the urinary bladder with voiding (urination).[1]
In males, antimuscarinic cholinergic antagonists may contribute to retention.[2]
Diagnosis
Physical examination
Physical examination may detect less than half of cases of postoperative bladder size greater than 400 ml compared to ultrasonography.[3]
Ultrasonography
Bladder ultrasonography may detect urinary retention and reduce unnecessary urinary catheterization[4], but false positives may occur due to cysts of nearby organs.[5]
Treatment
Postoperative urinary retention (> 500 ml of urine estimated by bladder scanning) may be better treated with intermittent urinary catheterization rather than indwelling urinary catheterization.[6]
The use of bladder ultrasonography may reduce the frequency of intermittent urinary catheterization among patients with spinal cord disorders.[7] Although the use of protocols with bladder scanners to reduce the frequency of urinary catheretization are recommended[8], implementing a critical pathway with a bladder scanner may not increase the use of scanning prior to insertion of a urinary catheter.[9]
