About the test
Neonatal Color Doppler is a specialized ultrasound test performed in newborn babies to evaluate blood flow in the heart and major blood vessels. It uses sound waves along with color imaging to visualize the direction and speed of blood flow. This test helps detect congenital heart defects, structural abnormalities, valve disorders, and circulatory issues present at birth. It is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for delicate neonatal care.
Preparation: Preparation for Neonatal Color Doppler is minimal and simple. No fasting is usually required, and the baby can be fed before the procedure to help keep them calm and comfortable. The test is typically performed while the baby is resting or sleeping. Parents are usually allowed to stay with the baby during the examination for reassurance. The procedure generally takes about 20–40 minutes and is conducted carefully in a warm, controlled environment to ensure the newborn’s comfort and safety.
