Resting bladder pressure
The resting bladder pressure is the urethra pressure at the position of the
profile begin marker. It is only calculated when the profile begin marker is
present.
At the moment the profile starts (just before the urethral pressure increases
because the catheter reaches the beginning of the urethra), the transducer
measuring the urethral pressure Pura is still in the bladder; hence, this is the
resting bladder pressure.
Calculated: Resting bladder pressure = [F].
Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure (MUCP)
Calculation method
The Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure (MUCP) can be calculated in two
ways:
• MUCP = Max P
• MUCP = Max (P
In the analysis program, you can define how to calculate the Maximum
Closure Pressure. Choose Settings > UPP settings from the menu.
