Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Urine Specimen Collection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bladder stimulation technique

The bladder stimulation technique consists of two consecutive maneuvers. In the first maneuver, the bladder is stimulated by tapping the suprapubic region for 30 seconds at a frequency of 100 touches per minute. In the second maneuver, circular massage is applied to the paravertebral region for 30 seconds. The two stimulation maneuvers will be repeated alternately for 3 minutes (180 seconds) until micturition begins.
