Question
How to approach a boy of 3 years with Acute retention of urine? What are the most important emergencies that need immediate Pediatric surgical attention in the above condition?
Answer
Palpate the bladder. If bladder is palpabale, one may try and give hot water fomentation. If it does not work, catheterize with caution and then work up for PU Valves. If bladder is not palpable, rule our pre-renal failure and acute renal failure. Give a bolus of 20cc/kg ringer lactate with 5mg/kg of Frusemide and see whether the child passes urine. Before giving frusemide, rule out dehydration,shock and hypokalemia.
