Summary— The advantages of continuous ambulatory monitoring of intravesical and intraurethral pressures, using a portable tape recorder and pressure sensitive catheter tip transducers, have been demonstrated in a group of male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. The effects of postural changes and sleep on urethral and bladder function were obtained continuously under optimum physiological conditions. A correlation was established between symptoms and changes observed on urodynamic recordings.
