Treatment for Doppler studies in Hebbal, Bangalore

Doppler studies use sound waves to assess blood flow. Blood flow speed and direction can be determined by measuring how the sound waves are affected as they bounce off moving objects. Doppler studies are used to evaluate a variety of conditions, including blood clots, blockages, and tumours. Doppler Treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore are used to assess the blood flow in different parts of the body. By using sound waves, blood flow can be measured in real-time.

They can be used to diagnose blockages or narrowing of the arteries and evaluate the foetus's blood flow during pregnancy. 

Pre-Procedure 

There is no special preparation required for a doppler study. However, it is important to wear loose-fitting clothing so that the transducer can be placed directly on the skin. Ensure that the patient is well hydrated and that any medications that may affect blood flow are discontinued before the procedure. The test will take place in a quiet room so that the sound of the doppler can be heard clearly. 

Procedure 

There are many different ways to perform a Doppler study, but all involve using sound waves to measure blood flow. The most common method is an ultrasound machine emitting high-frequency sound waves that bounce off blood cells and other tissues. The device then measures the change in frequency of the sound waves as they bounce off moving objects, such as blood cells. This information is then used to calculate the speed and direction of blood flow. 

You will lie on your back on an exam table during the test. A gel will be applied to your skin, and a transducer will be placed on the gel. The transducer emits sound waves that bounce from blood cells. The sound waves are then converted into images on a video screen. The test usually takes 30 minutes to an hour. 

Post-Procedure 

After the procedure, the doctor usually waits for the area to heal before starting the Doppler study. The doctor will then clean the area and inject a small amount of local anaesthetic into the skin. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the doctor will insert the Doppler probe into the area and begin the study. The doctor will then interpret the images to look for any abnormalities. After the procedure, the patient may be asked to drink plenty of fluids and avoid strenuous activity for a day or so. There is usually no discomfort associated with this procedure.
