Urodynamics is crucial in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Like other diagnostic tools, urodynamics requires thorough training. Substantial data is produced, and its accuracy relies heavily on precise administration techniques. Training is vital for healthcare professionals aiming to utilize urodynamics to assist patients. However, developing and implementing a comprehensive curriculum is a challenging task. Where can your practice seek guidance? Many practitioners rely on established providers like Laborie and Brighter Health Network. If you are new to urodynamics training, here is what to consider when looking for an effective program.

These tests are prescribed by urologists, gynecologists, or urogynecologists, and the results from the tests allow them to look at how a patient's lower urinary tract is working. The bladder, sphincters, and urethra (all parts of the lower urinary tract) work together to hold and release urine. Most urodynamic tests are concerned with measuring the ability of your bladder to hold and drain urine completely.

This role is often performed by a mid-level provider, such as a nurse practitioner (NP), physician’s assistant (PA), registered nurse (RN) and even by a medical assistant or other trained technician (MA). The degree of medical knowledge needed to successfully perform a UDS test does not need to be extensive, hence providers do not need a medical or advanced degree to perform UDS; however, they do need to be proficient in setting the patient up for the test, know the key steps, know how to manage basic artifacts and when to engage the physician during a test.

Generally speaking, filling during UDS can be at rates below physiologic levels, at physiologic levels or at supra-physiologic levels. There are distinct pros and cons to filling at either physiologic rates or rates above that, while filling at a rate below the natural rate of bladder filling is both inefficient and unnatural.

There are several key maneuvers that should be performed before the study begins and in the event of issues during the test, several remedial actions that can be taken. The International Continence Society (ICS) has previously published on quality control during UDS and the work of both Blaivas and Abrams has expanded our understanding of both quality control and artifacts (Abrams, 2012). The reader should review the excellent manuscript from Abrams for further details, as much of this blog post refers to these works.** [Read More](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/urodynamics-artifacts-identification-and-correction) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/urodynamics-artifacts-identification-and-correction#comments-listing) Topics: [urodynamics](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/topic/urodynamics), [urodynamics training](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/topic/urodynamics-training) ## [Urodynamic Training Options](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/urodynamic-training-options) Posted by [Clark Love](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/author/clark-love) on May 10, 2018 7:22:27 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.bhnco.com/hubfs/UDS-edu-course.jpg)](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/urodynamic-training-options) **Urodynamics testing requires very well-trained staff in order to determine the basis and progression of urologic diseases.
