Long-term care, nursing homes and rehabilitation hospitals
With the development of global aging, there are more and more elderly people over 80 years old. With the increase of age, urinary frequency, urinary urgency and incontinence and other symptoms of the elderly have greatly increased. The bladder scanner enables the service staff of nursing home to quickly and easily evaluate and record the bladder volume, so that the treatment of urinary incontinence of elderly patients becomes easier. Meanwhile it also can identify the urinary incontinence categories in the elderly, check urine retention, PVR and biofeedback, ensure patient comfort and improve the efficiency of nursing staff.
A large number of patients who need long-term care due to diseases such as post stroke operation, advanced stage of tumor and Alzheimer's disease are admitted to nursing homes. The number and frequency of catheterization in nursing homes are increasing. The use of bladder scanner can measure postvoid residual(PVR) after urination, monitor urinary retention, and continuously measure urine volume after Foley catheter discontinuation, prevent urinary retention. It also can avoid excessive bladder expansion and incontinence nursing, and help bladder function training.
Patients in rehabilitation hospital recover from a variety of different diseases, many of them will suffer from surgery, chronic diseases, aging and physical weakness caused by various system problems. In view of the recent or chronic nervous system problems, acute cerebrovascular accidents or spinal cord injury in many rehabilitation patients, medical institutions need to adopt various bladder treatment schemes, and bladder scanner is an effective method. It is suitable for patients with chronic neurological disease, spinal cord injury (SCI) and acute cerebrovascular accident (stroke). It is convenient for doctors and nurses to grasp the time of catheterization, monitor urinary retention, improve the nursing of patients with neurogenic bladder, ensure the comfort of patients, and improve the working efficiency of nursing staff.
