متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography in the intensive care unit.
Transesophageal echocardiography provides unique diagnostic capabilities, allowing for a very precise look at the structure and hemodynamics of the human heart. It is minimally invasive and portable, and quickly diagnoses sudden hemodynamic changes in intensive care patients. It provides invaluable and precise information about myocardial dysfunction and intracardiac volume status. It can diagn...
متن کاملEmerging Concepts in Transesophageal Echocardiography
Introduced in 1977, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offered imaging through a new acoustic window sitting directly behind the heart, allowing improved evaluation of many cardiac conditions. Shortly thereafter, TEE was applied to the intraoperative environment, as investigators quickly recognized that continuous cardiac evaluation and monitoring during surgery, particularly cardiac operat...
