How to Perform Flow-mediated Dilatation (FMD) with Ultrasound
In this video, I demonstrate all of the steps necessary to accurately perform the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) technique. The video covers the importance of setting up the ultrasound machine, getting your patient comfortable, application of the pressure cuff, holding the probe correctly and visualising a 'good' artery.
For information on the theoretical underpinning of the techniques, please see the tutorials in the following playlist:

Anyone knows an ultrasound provider that can perform FMD in Los Angeles area? I need this for a clinical trial
Fantastic video thank you. Do you have any links to the papers detailing the wrist vs forearm position for occlusion?

Thanks Alfie. Yes, this is the paper that compares upper arm occlusion with wrist occlusion: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11724650/
Sir can you please tell us the source of.. This probe fixator... The supplier or the company... We are doing studies regarding FMD in Rheumatological diseases.. Not able to arrange the probe fixator

Hi Devender, the probe holder we use is this one: www.flexbar.com/products/magnetic-base-with-arms Picture 3 is the exact one we have (SKU10995). You will need a little probe holder that holds the actual ultrasound probe and attaches to the clamp in the link abobe. Essentially, this small clamp was made by our lab technician and allows the ultrasound probe to be slotted into place and then connected to the above clamp (this can be seen from 1min30sec in the video). The arm holder was also made by our lab technician, but in previous labs, I have used a pillow over a table to secure the arm, and that worked absolutely fine. The main thing is that the participant feels comfortable throughout the duration of the test. Good luck with your studies, and please get in touch if you would like any further information.
