Comparative evaluation of the use of water-filled and air-charged catheters during urodynamic studies in women with stress urinary incontinence

Introduction. Urodynamic studies play an important role in urological and gynecological clinical practice. Specialized catheters used to measure pressures inside and outside the bladder play an important role in this process. International Continence Society (ICS) standards recommend the use of water-filled catheters with external transducers for complex urodynamic studies, which ensures standardization and comparability of results between different clinics экспериментальная и клиническая урология № 1 2025 www.ecuro.ru and patients. In recent years, interest in air-charged catheters has increased as a potential alternative to traditional water-perfusion catheters catheters, supposedly reducing artifacts and improving measurement accuracy.
