Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for monitoring the filling level of the bladder of a patient, in which method several electrodes (4), in particular more than four electrodes (4), are arranged on the body surface of a patient (1), around the bladder of the patient (1), and an alternating current flowing through the body is fed in through at least one pair of two electrodes (4), wherein a respective alternating voltage measurement value is detected on several electrodes (4), and wherein the alternating voltage measurement value itself, or at least a result value calculated therefrom, forms a measure of the filling level of the bladder, in particular wherein an alarm signal is generated after said measurement is compared with at least one comparison value.
