The aim of this study is to validate a novel fully-automated continuous technique to measure IAP via a balloon-tipped catheter connected to an IAP monitor (Spiegelberg, Hamburg, Germany) versus a novel bladder FoleyManometer (Holtech Medical, Copenhagen, Denmark), and to look for the COVA (SD divided by mean) for IAP and APP during different 24 hour monitoring periods. …
