Abstract: Objective To explore the application of domestic bladder capacity scanner in intermittent catheterization in patients with neurogenic bladder. Methods 40 patients with neurogenic bladder accepted intermittent catheterization. Their bladder volume was tested with domestic and imported bladder capacity scanner (Padscan and Bladderscan) and catheterization respectively. Results The bladder volume was (262.592±6.3012) ml tested by Padscan, and was (262.570±6.3006) ml by Bladderscan (P>0.05). The bladder volume tested by bladder catheterization was (245.549±6.0511) ml, which was significantly lower than the other methods (P<0.001), but the D-value was just 17 ml. Conclusion The accuracy of bladder volume tested by domestic bladder capacity scanner (Padscan) was very similar with the imported one (Bladderscan), and the difference between them and the volume tested by bladder catheterization was meaningless in clinical.
