Diagnostic value of Dopplerography in mechanical intestinal blockage

With intestinal obstruction taken into consideration, it is thought to be expedient to study changes to hemodynamics occurring in the basin of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) with the help of dopplerography. A reliable elevation was noted in indices of the peak systolic circulation rate in SMA, mean linear circulation rate in SMA, correlation between the peak systolic rate in SMA and the systolic rate in the abdominal aorta, volume circulation rate in SMA. In addition, these indices were shown to depend on the level of the obstacle resulting in intestinal obstruction.
