Trial summary

Urinary tract infection is most common serious bacterial infection in children who admit into the emergency department (ED). However the collection of urine from young children is time consuming process. So many children and their family guardian waste time until medical disposition established. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Use of a New Technique for Pediatric Urine Collection on the Length of Stay in the Emergency Department: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Urinary tract infection is most common serious bacterial infection in children who admit into the emergency department (ED). However the collection of urine from young children is time consuming process. So many children and their family guardian waste time until medical disposition established.

In 2013, Maria Luisa Herreros Fernandez etc have suggested a new urine collection technique for newborn, that bladder and lumbar stimulation technique is fast and safe.

The aim of this study is to determine clinical efficacy of bladder and lumbar stimulation technique (BLST) for pediatric patient in ED.

Read the detailed description

Bladder and lumbar stimulation technic

Step 1

  • Oral or IV hydration : Aprropriate to the weight of the children

Step 2 - Bladder stimulation : Gentle tapping in the suprapubic area at a frequency of 100 taps per minute for 30 sec

Step 3

  • Lumbar stimulation : Lumbar paravertebral zone in the lower back with a light circular massage for 30 sec

Both stimulation manoeuvres are repeated until micturition starts and a midstream urine sample can be caught in a sterile collector

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Success rate of bladder and lumbar stimulation techninc

    Success is defined as the collection of a sample within 10 min of starting the stimulation manoeuvres

    Measured: 10 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Urine collection time

    Urine collection time is defined as time from ordering urine analysis to collection of a urine sample

    Measured: 3 hour
