INTRAOPERATIVE PROBE
The probe can now be used to assess blood flow in
other vessels maintaining an angle of 45° and ensuring
that the tip is fully wetted. Fig. 2.
Point the probe along the length of the vessel until the
maximum audio signal is heard. The Dopplex DMX unit
will show the bi-directional blood velocity waveform on
its LCD display.
The probe can then be moved along the length of
the vessel, noting any change in pitch of the Doppler
signal or height of the Doppler waveform. This may be
indicative of a change in the lumen area (Fig. 3)
The same procedure can then be carried out after a
graft has been inserted to confirm that adequate blood
flow has been restored. By placing the probe on the
vessel distal to the anastamosis, confirmation of distal
run off is provided.
