Bladder Stimulation Technique for Urine Collection in the Pediatric Emergency Department

The purpose of this prospective, quasi-experimental study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Bladder Stimulation Technique (BST) compared to the traditional urine collection bag method in non-toilet-trained infants presenting to the Pediatric Emergency Department. The primary objective is to determine whether BST can significantly reduce urine contamination rates and the time required for successful sample collection. By comparing these two non-invasive methods, the study aims to provide a faster, cleaner, and more reliable diagnostic approach to solve the operational challenges of urine collection in acute pediatric care
