Figure 2 Urodynamic hemostat test.(MUA=midurethral anchoring). Cough pressure transmission ratio (CTR) with (left column) and without (right column) midurethral anchoring (MUA) upper graph, urethral pressure; lower graph, bladder pressure; middle graph, closure pressure. CTR is a superseded descriptive term. It denotes the pattern obtained with coughing while pulling a double microtip transducer through the urethra. The column labeled MUA denotes the pattern obtained with coughing after unilateral midurethral anchoring. Note the increase in the urethral pressure profile and reversal of the cough pressure from indentation below the urethral pressure profile to protrusion above it.
