Learn how to perform and interpret pre-void and post-void residual volume bladder ultrasounds in this 12-minute video from Dr. Sam's Imaging Library. Discover the techniques for measuring bladder volume before and after urination, including how to calculate estimated bladder volume using the formula 0.75 x (width) x (length) x (height). Explore normal and abnormal results, with examples of measurements and volumes for both pre-void and post-void scans. Understand that a normal post-void residual volume is typically less than 50 ml for adults, while volumes exceeding 100 ml may indicate potential bladder issues requiring further evaluation. Gain insights into interpreting ultrasound images and recognizing the differences between normal and abnormal bladder function.
