Urinary retention protocol algorithm 2026

1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the urinary retention protocol algorithm in the editor.
2. Begin by reviewing the indications and symptoms section. Ensure you understand the criteria for bladder palpability, discomfort, and voiding times.
3. In the interventions section, assist the patient to void and check Post Void Residual (PVR) using a bladder scanner. Document this action directly in the form.
4. If PVR is 400 mls or more, document your findings and reassess as needed. If less than 400 mls with symptoms, proceed to further evaluation.
5. For patients unable to void after an In and Out catheterization, repeat the bladder scan and assess their history for any urological issues before deciding on further actions.
6. If necessary, call the MD based on your assessment and document all actions taken throughout this process.
