Abstract
We performed a prospective, randomized trial comparing ultrasound guid ance of suprapubic bladder aspiration with unguided aspiration. The ac quisition of urine improved with ultrasound guidance from 60% to 96.4% . The number of needle insertions decreased and the amount of urine ob tained increased. Ultrasonography is a useful tool for bladder aspirat ion.
