Complications related to intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in liver transplantation
PURPOSE Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has commonly been used for evaluating cardiac function and monitoring hemodynamic parameters during complex surgical cases. Anesthesiologists may be dissuaded from using TEE in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) out of concern about rupture of esophageal varices. Complications associated with TEE in OLT were evaluated. METHODS ...
متن کاملIntraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography for Iatrogenic Cardiac Tamponade Treatment in a Patient Undergoing Liver Transplantation
The current case report describes a case of Intraoperative progressive hemodynamic failure in a patient undergoing orthotropic liver transplantation. Rescue transesophageal echocardiography was used to facilitate rapid diagnosis of a iatrogenic acute pericardial tamponade, resulting from a suture penetrating the pericardium through the right hemi diaphragm. This potentially lethal complication ...
متن کاملReal-Time Simulation of Transesophageal Echocardiography
In this paper we describe an approach to interactively render ultrasound images for a transesophageal echocardiogram procedure. Our prototype features an animated 3D model of a human heart that is used to synthesize virtual ultrasound images in real-time. The user can control the probe and interact with the simulator via a GUI or with a haptics device. The ultrasound plane is rendered in a clas...

OBJECTIVE To characterize contemporary practice patterns in the use of transesophageal echocardiography during adult liver transplantation and to identify factors preventing more frequent use. DESIGN Online questionnaire. SETTING Liver transplantation centers in the United States performing 12 or more adult liver transplants in 2011. PARTICIPANTS One representative from each qualifying ce...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography in orthotopic liver transplantation: a comprehensive intraoperative monitoring tool
Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is a minimally invasive monitoring tool that can provide real-time visual information on ventricular function and hemodynamic volume status in patients undergoing liver transplantation. The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases states that transesophageal echocardiography should be used in all liver transplant candidates in order to...
