    AbstractIntraoperative transesophageal echocardiography has become an integral component of the repair of congenital heart defects. It currently has a direct impact on reducing morbidity and mortality in the pediatric cardiac population. To establish a successful program, it is important to follow guidelines for training as well as having a systematic approach to the evaluation of this patient population. This article addresses the specific indications in a patient population as practiced at the Hospital For Sick Children, Toronto. While there may be subtle differences between programs, the objectives are to provide excellent service to the pediatric cardiac patient in the operating room.
