A member asked:
Can the portable ultra sound machines in hospitals accurately measure the amount of water in a 3liter bladder? do staff usually know what to do? after the catheter was removed for a void test there was 300ml left in- perplexed the nurse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can. If the staff was ordered to do a test- he/she would only do it if trained for it. Most nurses are not trained to know all the causes of incomplete emptying of the bladder. That is for the doc/ Urologist to diagnose.
