About This Presentation
Title:

Venous Reflux Study using the Automatic Vascular Doppler

Description:

A healthcare professional can identify the problematic valves using an Automatic Vascular Doppler with simple one-button operation. The device can be used to assess the valvular competency of the Vein. The study is completely safe and does not require injecting medicine or radiation into the body. The sonographer requests the patient to take particular positions and movements to examine the legs and measure the blood flow. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: Venous Reflux Study using the Automatic Vascular Doppler

Venous Reflux Study using the Automatic Vascular
Doppler

Automatic Vascular Doppler
  • A healthcare professional can identify the
    problematic valves using an Automatic Vascular
    Doppler with simple one-button operation.
  • The device can be used to assess the valvular
    competency of the Vein. The study is completely
    safe and does not require injecting medicine or
    radiation into the body.
  • The sonographer requests the patient to take
    particular positions and movements to examine the
    legs and measure the blood flow

How to use the Automatic Vascular Doppler for
Venous Reflux Study?
  • The Photoplethysmography (PPG) Probe of the
    Doppler is placed in the Right/Left Great
    Saphenous vein at about four or five fingers
    distance above the ankle bone.
  • The patient has to perform the tiptoe reflux for
    five times as we observe the venous refilling
    pattern.

4
The results of the test are evaluated as follows
  • If the refilling or recovery time is more than 20
    seconds, it indicates good valvular competency of
    the vein to push the blood upwards.
  • If the refilling or recovery time is between
    18-20 seconds, it is questionable and a repeat
    test is conducted.
  • If the refilling or recovery time is less than 18
    seconds, there is a venous condition and may
    require Physician intervention.

Venous Reflux Study using the Automatic Vascular
Doppler
  • A Vascular Doppler uses ultrasound waves to
    visualize the pattern of blood flow in your veins
    and arteries.
  • Depending on the results of the vascular doppler,
    you can discuss your venous anatomy with a
    physician and understand treatment options in
    more detail.
