A Pilot Study to Assess Effects of Self-Administered Nitrous Oxide (SANO) on Urodynamic Study (UDS) Parameters

Description
Description

The urodynamic study (UDS) procedure will consist of catheter placement and two "runs". Before the start of the procedure, a study staff member will assist the participant with putting on a plastic gas mask. SANO and oxygen will be given through this mask. The dose will be adjusted based on the participant's comfort level but they will not be able to request more gas than allowed. SANO will be administered during catheter placement at the start of the UDS. During the two runs, the participant will either receive SANO (run 1) then oxygen (run 2), or oxygen (run 1) then SANO (run 2).

Before the day of the UDS, participants will be asked questions related to demographics and medical history to determine study eligibility and experience of the treatment. During the UDS, participants will be asked to describe their anxiety and pain levels. Afterwards, they will be asked to complete a 15-20 minute structured interview with a study staff member to learn more about patient experience during UDS.
