Here’s a concise bullet-point summary of the Quick-Wee method and its evaluation in clinical studies:
🚼 What Is the Quick-Wee Method?
-A non-invasive technique to stimulate urination in infants aged 1–12 months -Involves gently rubbing the suprapubic area with gauze soaked in cold fluid (~2.8°C) for up to 5 minutes to prompt voiding citeturn0search0
📊 Key Findings from Clinical Trials
-
Voiding Rate 31% of infants voided within 5 minutes using Quick-Wee, compared to 12% with standard clean-catch method.
-
Sample Collection Success Successful urine collection occurred in 30% of Quick-Wee cases versus 9% in control.
-
Contamination Rates No significant difference—27% for Quick-Wee vs. 45% for standard methods (P=0.29.
-
Satisfaction Higher satisfaction reported among both parents and clinicians using Quick-We. citeturn0search0
🧪 Comparison with Other Methods- Quick-Wee is faster and less invasive than catheterization or suprapubic aspiratin.- Contamination rates are comparable to standard clean-catch techniques and lower than those associated with urine bag collectios. citeturn0search9
🧭 *Clinical Implications
-
Offers a practical, cost-effective alternative for urine collection in non-toilet-trained infats.
-
May reduce the need for invasive procedures, improving patient comfort and care efficiecy.
