Development of a novel intra-abdominal pressure transducer for large scale clinical studies.

摘要: Intra-abdominal pressure may be one of the few modifiable risk factors associated with developing a pelvic floor disorder. With in eight women having surgery to correct disorder their lifetimes, intra-abdominal key understanding disease etiology and how mitigate its occurrence progression. Many traditional methods measurement have limitations data quality, environment use, patient comfort. We modified previously reported intravaginal transducer that has been shown overcome other technique (Coleman et al. 2012). Our modifications make it easier less costly, more reliable than previous designs, while maintaining accuracy, integrity, quality data. This device used over 400 participants date as part most comprehensive studies examining relationship between disorders.
