Sumario:Traces is a series of articles designed to enhance the clinician's ability to prepare the patient for, safely perform, and interpret findings of a single test or multichannel urodynamic testing. This article provides an introduction to urodynamic testing, including a brief overview of urodynamic hardware and software and the testing environment, along with commonly performed urodynamic tests and the most common bundled evaluation, referred to as multichannel urodynamics. Safety issues encountered during urodynamic testing, including infection prevention, avoidance of urethral trauma and hematuria, managing sudden changes in blood pressure, and radiation safety, are discussed in greater detail.
