Detrusor pressure offset
For the plots in which the detrusor pressure is shown, a detrusor offset can be
entered by clicking the button or by selecting
Options > Detrusor offset
. The
curves are displayed with an offset added to the detrusor channel. This offset
is used to correct the initial detrusor pressure in such a way that the detrusor
pressure is the same as the vesical pressure at the start of the investigation.
