This workshop will provide the practitioner and interpreter of urodynamics the guidelines for the performance of urodynamics (UDS) in a standardized format. It is intended for both novice and veterans who wish to acquire and/or refresh their knowledge of UDS in order to perform and troubleshoot this procedure at an optimal level.

Although urinary catheters are part of every urology nurse’s practice, they are rarely the focus of training. This program will educate urologic nurses in understanding how urinary catheters function, how they interact with the body, as well as troubleshooting common urinary catheterization complications. Special emphasis will be placed on managing common (and not so common) complications due to long-term urinary catheterizations. The education and management of patients performing intermittent catheterizations will also be covered. Attendees will also participate in a hands on “cath lab” covering difficult urinary catheterizations, suprapubic catheter insertion and removal, and catheter dissection.

(Note: This workshop is limited to 20 participants.)

This comprehensive course will walk you through the management of a patient newly diagnosed with bladder cancer through treatment and the after effects of treatment. Topics will include pelvic floor prehab, pre-marking for ostomy placement, and immediate post-op ostomy care and teaching. In addition, information will be presented on pelvic floor and sexual rehabilitation. Presenters will also focus on managing the sexual side effects of surgery along with body image changes to help patients thrive after an ostomy. Information will also be presented on support group development assistance, and ongoing ostomy support and care.

Interpretation of urodynamic findings at two levels will be reviewed in this session. The first level is identification of specific urodynamic events and their clinical relevance. The second level reviewed will describe application of urodynamic findings to patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction.
