d. increased volume to the first involuntary bladder contraction.
e. increased mean volume voided.

c. Increased outlet resistance. Atropine and atropine-like agents will depress normal bladder contractions and involuntary bladder contractions of any cause. In such patients, the volume to the first involuntary bladder contraction will generally be increased, the amplitude of the involuntary bladder contraction decreased, and the total bladder capacity increased. Outlet resistance, at least as reflected by urethral pressure measurements, does not seem to be clinically affected
