What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Blood flow velocity.mean.max. It is commonly used with the system or sample type {Circulatory system}.

When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Observation
  • Method: US.doppler

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

  • Circulatory system Maximum blood flow velocity mean US.doppler
  • Blood flow velocity.mean.max
  • Peak velocity flow averaged over the cardiac cycle.This is the average value of the Peak trace over time. In non-Cardiac applications, it is called "Time Averaged Peak Velocity",In Cardiac applications this is known as the "Mean Velocity".
