Interim guidance for urodynamic practice during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

This article reviews the most recent guidelines focused on urology and urodynamic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic from the International Continence Society, European Association of Urology and American Urological Association. Our present document is based on these guidelines and represents the recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Urology (SBU - Sociedade Brasileira de Urologia) regarding the practice of urodynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. We provide guidance based on clinical priority and the state of restrictions for medical practice and social/economic activities. We also provide recommendations for reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection for patients and health care professionals when urodynamics is performed.
