Internal Medicine ICU

The patients on the Medical Surgical Units have a multitude of conditions. Many patients carry multiple diagnosis problems. Consider a patient with Cardiac disease, or diabetes, who is recovering from a surgical procedure. The patient may have been catheterised for urinary monitoring, and after catheter removal may be found to have voiding problems with retention, frequent voiding, or even urinary incontinence. The BladderScan® is essential in managing and treating the patient’s condition. In some instances the patient may not have been catheterised, and may present with the same complaints.

The BladderScan^® provides the Staff of these units with efficient, non-invasive patient care. Not only because it is non-invasive, but also because it can be routinely performed by all staff (something that is not true for catheterisation). This means more rapid care and treatment for the patient.
