We hypothesise that stimulating cutaneous reflexes hastens voiding for CCU.Methods 40 children aged 1–24 months in the ED. Standard CCU was augmented with gentle suprapubic cutaneous stimulation using saline-soaked gauze (Quick-Wee method).Results 12/40 (30%) children voided within 5 min for successful CCU. Parental and clinician satisfaction was high.Conclusions Quick-Wee appears to be a simple method to speed CCU in young children. %U https://emj.bmj.com/content/emermed/34/1/63.full.pdf
