Urgency incontinence, which presents as an overactive bladder with leaking and an urge to void immediately, is due to detrusor muscle overactivity. Thus, a drug that blocks the parasympathetic activity of the detrusor muscle will affect normal stimulation of bladder contraction. FA2019 p588.
Bonus: drugs that can help with urgency incontinence include muscarinic antagonists oxybutinin, tolterodine, solifenacin (remember turtle and ox closing the water dispenser in Sketchy) FA2019 p241.
victorlt14I'm puzzled by the preganglionic parasympathetic blockade. Would that maybe have more side effects?+
killuazoldegthe drug was either M3 blocker or Beta3 stimulator to decrease bladder contraction (by the parasympathetic )and relieve the urge incontitnence+
surgerydoctorca_sguWhen it comes to feeding tubes, also keep in mind how these play into a DNR order. A patient with a DNR may still consider other life-sustaining measures (e.g. intubation, feeding tube, chemotherapy) - FA 2021, Pg. 272+
