A member asked:
If a bladder scan indicates a volume of 300mls in an elderly pt does there need to be any type of urgent intervention if the pt is not in any pain?

Depends: a lot of time I believe people don't feel any pain a little after 10 minutes to spend more than usual but Andy can do that I would have to see the patient as soon as possible given his med problem especially dm

Not necessarily: This is elevated but depending on the remainder of the what is going on clinically further observation may be undertaken along with continued encouragement to void. Alternatively, if significant concern exists over retention and possibly complicating kidney damage then either a Foley or straight catheterization may be utilized.
