1. A sensor module for non-invasive continuous Doppler monitoring for arterial blood flow to a distal body part of a patient, comprising:
- a Doppler transducer for placement at the distal body part of the patient; and
an adhesive conductive gel for placement between the Doppler transducer and the distal body part of the patient for holding the Doppler transducer in position at the distal body part of the patient.

Abstract
A Doppler sensor for non-invasive continuous Doppler monitoring for arterial blood flow to a distal body part of a patient that employs a Doppler transducer for placement at the distal body part of the patient and an adhesive conductive gel for placement between the Doppler transducer and the distal body part of the patient. The adhesive conductive gel holds the Doppler transducer in position at the distal body part of the patient during medical procures so that continuous monitoring of arterial blood flow is provided via a Doppler monitor.
