Key result
A Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter and an impedance cardiograph had a determinant influence on clinical management in 5 of 30 patients with arterial disorders, with the Doppler being more sensitive.

Do Doppler ultrasonic flowmeters and impedance cardiographs provide clinically useful bedside data in patients with arterial disorders?
Noninvasive bedside measurement of peripheral arterial flow using Doppler ultrasound and impedance cardiography can provide data that directly influences clinical management in patients with arterial disorders.
Nathan P. Couch (1971) conducted an observational in Arterial disorders (n=30). Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter and impedance cardiograph was evaluated on Determinant influence on clinical management. A Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter and an impedance cardiograph had a determinant influence on clinical management in 5 of 30 patients with arterial disorders, with the Doppler being more sensitive.
