Doppler probe

Doppler probe

Etymology: Christian J. Doppler
a handheld diagnostic device that emits ultrasonic waves into the body. Reflection of the waves by a moving structure causes a change in their frequency. The Doppler probe has been used as a diagnostic tool since 1960 to study changes in blood flow in arteries and veins.

Doppler shift - the magnitude of the frequency change in hertz when sound and observer are in relative motion away from or toward each other.
Doppler ultrasonography - application of the Doppler effect in ultrasound to detect movement of scatterers (usually red blood cells) by the analysis of the change in frequency of the returning echoes.

Apart from preinsertion localization of radial artery, a further refinement of this technique, the Doppler probe can be held over the artery throughout cannula insertion; the exact position of the artery is identified by a change or loss of Doppler tones as the cannula contacts and compresses the artery12,13 .

The ABI is also a reliable method for screening leg pain, ischemia of the legs, screening for atherosclerosis and the evaluation of vascular compromise in patients with trauma of the lower legs (Grenon, et al, 2009) The only tools required for the testing are a blood pressure cuff and a continuous wave 5 to 10 mHz Doppler probe as well as a skilled technician.
