The video outlines the most important principles for an adequate exam conduction, which includes redosing of vasoactive agents for during erection induction, a rigidity-based assessment of hemodynamic parameters, and an effective detumescence protocol using reversal agents. The conduction of standard PDU examination of a 54 year-old man with erectile dysfunction is described.
