Handheld Vascular Doppler How Handheld Vascular Doppler Machines Can Improve Patient Outcomes www.kodymedical.com
Vascular Doppler • Measures blood flow through arteries and veins using high-frequency sound waves. • Useful in detecting abnormal blood flow in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with diabetes. • Kody Medical Electronics offers handheld vascular Doppler machines. www.kodymedical.com
Calculation of Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) ABI is a parameter that indicates the severity of PAD Measure blood pressure in both ankles and arms using handheld vascular Doppler ABI is a parameter that indicates the severity of PAD Divide the higher systolic blood pressure from ankles by the higher systolic blood pressure from arms ABI value of 0.9 or lower is indicative of PAD www.kodymedical.com
Low ABI • ABI value of 0.9 or lower is indicative of PAD • Low ABI points to higher risk of heart attack, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and stroke • ABI may be repeated after exercise to assess abnormal value (decrease of 20% or more after exercising) Low ABI and Associated Risks in PAD Diagnosis www.kodymedical.com
High ABI ABI value higher than 1.4 is indicative of stiffness of peripheral blood vessels Common in advanced age or diabetes People with ABI higher than 1.4 carry twice the risk of cardiovascular death www.kodymedical.com
ABI and Patient Outcome • Early diagnosis of PAD with handheld vascular Doppler results in early intervention and better patient outcomes. • Frequent repetitions of ABI testing helps assess disease status and modify treatment strategies. • Kody's handheld vascular Doppler machines provide bidirectional assessment for PAD and facilitate early medical intervention www.kodymedical.com
Conclusion Improved Outcomes: ABI Measurements Patient Benefits: Handheld Doppler Significance of ABI: Doppler Machines Handheld vascular Doppler machines are valuable tools in assessing blood flow and detecting PAD ABI measurements obtained with handheld vascular Doppler can significantly improve patient outcomes Early diagnosis and intervention can lead to better management of PAD and associated risks
