ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Suprapubic bladder aspiration(SBA) of urine is the most reliable method to obtain urine avoiding contamination in non-toilet trained infants. Ultrasonography is a useful tool for guiding the anatomic location as well as for direct visualization during procedure. We evaluated the success rate and complication of ultrasound(US) assisted SBA.METHODS:
Sixty infants who visited Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, with suspected urinary tract infection were randomly divided into the US assisted (n=32) and blind SBA(control, n=28) group. In US assisted SBA group, the anteroposterior(AP), transverse, and sagittal diameters and the volume of the bladder were measured. In the blind SBA group, urine was blindly aspirated when the urinary bladder was palpated at the suprapubic area. The rate of successful urine aspiration, the number of attempts until successful aspiration, aspirated urine volume were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:
The success rate was 100%(32/32) in the US assisted group, which was significantly higher than 85.7%(24/28) of the control group (P3 cm, transverse diameter >4 cm, depth >4 cm and bladder volume >5 mL.CONCLUSION:
US assistance can significantly improve the success rate of SBA in infant with suspected urinary tract infection.
