Filter by:Purpose of the Study: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of bladder stimulation technique and bathing method on urine collection in term infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. Content of the Study: This study will consist of 3 groups. Babies in the 1st group, the control group, will be fed only with breast milk or formula, and after 20 minutes, a bladder will be inserted and urination will be expected. The babies in the second group, the bladder stimulation technique application group, will also be placed in a urine bag 20 minutes after feeding. Then the bladder stimulation technique will be applied. This technique; consists of two consecutive maneuvers. In the first maneuver, the bladder (Urine Bag) is stimulated by hitting the suprapubic (lower parts of the abdomen) area for 30 seconds at a frequency of 100 touches per minute. In the second maneuver, a 30-second circular massage is applied to the paravertebral region (located next to the spine). Babies in the 3rd group, the bathing group, will be given a bath under running water for no longer than 5 minutes before feeding. After the bath, the baby will be fed, and a urine bag will be inserted 20 minutes after the feeding. Urine urination will be monitored by running the stopwatch immediately after the urine bag is placed on all babies. When the baby urinates, the stopwatch will be stopped and the time and success of urination will be recorded on the observation form by the researcher.
Urine specimen are necessary to diagnose various diseases in infants, especially urinary tract infections (UTI). Various non-invasive and invasive clinical interventions have been described for urine specimen collection. These; suprapubic aspiration, urinary catheterization, sterile urine collection bag and clean-caught urine (Herreros Fernández et al., 2013). For the diagnosis of UTI, it is recommended to collect urine samples by suprapubic aspiration (SPA) and urinary catheterization methods. However, these techniques are invasive and painful (Roberts et al. 2016). Clean-caught urine provides an acceptable urine sample for the diagnosis of UTI. But this method is possible for children with sphincter control. A technique was recently described that allows midstream urine specimen collection in children without sphincter control. This technique consists of bladder stimulation and lumbar paravertebral massage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of bladder stimulation technique on procedural success, procedure time, physiological parameters and comfort in urine specimen collection in newborns.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in early childhood. The American Academy of Pediatrics accepts suprapubic aspiration and bladder catheterization as the gold standard for the diagnosis of UTI. However, these techniques are painful and invasive. Clean-caught urine provides an acceptable urine specimen for the diagnosis of UTI, although this method is possible for toilet-trained children. Bladder stimulation maneuvers that allow clean-caught urine specimens have recently been identified in children who are not toilet trained. This study was planned to examine the effect of non-invasive bladder stimulation technique used in collecting urine specimen in infants under the age of one, on the success of the procedure, the duration of the procedure, the physiological parameters of the baby, and the level of pain.
Urinary calculi have become a global public health problem, which brings a huge economic burden to society and individuals. The pathogenesis of urinary calculi is not completely clear. Supersaturation of urinary components is a necessary condition for the formation of urinary calculi. The causes of stone formation are closely related to diet, drugs, metabolic disorders, basic diseases, genetic factors, environment and so on. Diet essentially determines the composition of urine, which affects the formation of urinary calculi. The effect of dietary phosphorus intake on stones is not clear. There is a lack of data to support dietary phosphorus as an influencing factor of stone formation. Phosphorus is present in most foods. 24h urine composition analysis is of great value in predicting the occurrence and composition of urinary calculi. However, due to the interaction between urine components, a single urine component can not well predict the occurrence of stones. Therefore, the researchers introduced the relative supersaturation of common stone components in urine to predict the incidence of stones. Therefore, we want to give healthy adults a diet with different phosphorus content for a period of time to clarify the effect of phosphorus in the diet on 24h urine composition level and urine relative supersaturation, so as to further explore the relationship between dietary phosphorus and the incidence of urinary calculi. To provide more clear recommendations for early prevention of urinary calculi, and provide more evidence for clinical decision-making, thereby reducing the incidence rate of urinary calculi.
Fluid intake and urinary output are measured with /without intake of Nephrosolid tablets in acute ( 1 day application ) and chronic ( 28 days application) therapy.
