Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Receiving Sedation for Voiding Cystourethrography

“Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is used to diagnose vesicoureteral reflux (VUR); however, it is an invasive procedure and can be psychologically distressing.”

“There were no significant differences in VCUG results between sedated and non-sedated patients….Procedural sedation did not have a significant impact on test results, suggesting its potential utility in relieving pain and anxiety associated with VCUG.”
