Podcast #193: The Quick Wee

The "Quick Wee" was a method to get urine out of infants who need to have a UA in the Emergency Department.

A randomized-controlled experiment was done with 350 infants between the ages of 1 to 12 months.

The "Quick Wee" method is taking a sterile saline gauze with cool saline and rubbing it over the suprapubic abdomen for five minutes. The results were significant, with 31% in the treatment group voided after five minutes, 12% in the control group voided after five minutes.
