What (if any) PREPARATIONS should I make for a Doppler Study?

Question

I am scheduled for a DOPPLER STUDY at my local hospital, next week. %I am asked for this Doppler study to check that my blood circulation in my legs is O.K. for my new prosthesis, which is being planned.

What / if any "preparations" do I need to do for this Doppler study? I am a routine Blood Donor and each time I donate blood, I do drink excess water to help "puff" my veins. - I want to do my best for this Doppler study so I can best use my new prosthesis that is being made with the contingency of this study.

Thanks for suggestions.

Answer 1

You're going for an arterial Doppler, which needs no preparation.
