1. Prepare and drape the patient following standard cystoscopic
procedure.
2. Inspect the return electrode to ensure complete skin contact
and that no creases or air bubbles are present.
Note: If complete skin contact is not achieved or if return
electrode is creased, remove and replace with a new return
electrode.
3. Forty-five to sixty minutes before the procedure begins, it is
recommended that you administer an oral analgesic and an
oral sedative/hypnotic.
4. Twenty minutes prior to the procedure:
a. Place the patient in the semi-Fowler's position.
b. Empty the patient's bladder with a catheter.
c. Fill the patient's urethra through the catheter with an
appropriate liquid analgesic.
d. Then, slowly pull the catheter out while continuing to instill
the remaining analgesic.
e. Next, administer an appropriate gel analgesic uretherally,
and clamp the penis for a minimum of 20 minutes.
The above procedures are recommendations based on
clinical experience. Selection and administration of
appropriate anesthetic or analgesic agents are in the
clinician's sole medical judgement.
