    Great video Another Clinical cause that we face a lot with surgical patients is constipation, diverticulosis or obstruction. Knowing the last time the patient passed BM can help in our clinical judgment. On multiple occasions, I found patients' urine output improves after they pass.

    These videos are extremely informative and essential for junior doctors. Please make more of them; thank you
  • @Vade_mecum_
    Thank you, doc, for these types of videos, with common pitfalls mentioned and to be able to see your ratinole from a practial point of view. Btw, I love the drawn cover images.
  • Great job. You would be amazed how many times low uop and/or slow rise in crt is from retention. Also just bc renal ultrasound doesn't show obstruction doesn't necessarily mean there is not retention, which is common misconception. Once corrected all resolves, work in nephro and happens more than you think.

    Hi, I would like to suggest you to improve your videos with en subtitles for the ones who don't have a perfect listening (especially considered the using of technical terms)

    Urinary retention means no urine output at all, right?!
  • @soniczforever5470
    I have that output daily and now restricting water as I am bloating up despite quite a low calorie intake. I can't afford to gain weight as ny joints don't take it and won't even eat dinner as there's fluid in it. I think there's something wrong with my kidneys.

    Is there any quick algorithm to treat low urine output in night shift with lot of notify? I barely catch up😢
  • @jm2793
    PVR isn't accurate in a patient that is inconvenient. I'm a nurse and the number of docs that order a PVR and expect it to be accurate is crazy. It's an unfortunate circumstance but there's little correlation to a void and a bladder scan. Most patients that are inconvenient are not able to tell when they urinated and it might be as long as two hours from the time they went. A q4 or q6 bladder scan and a cath above x amount is a better way to go.

    This is when they call Respiratory Therapy for a nebulizer treatment 😂
