Comparative StudyIntraoperative transesophageal echocardiography during noncardiac surgery.
To investigate the use and impact of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during noncardiac surgery. ⋯ It appears that TEE in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery is efficacious in rapidly disclosing new findings and information during periods of hemodynamic instability. It may have a significant impact on intraoperative patient management and may be beneficial in patients older than 66 years of age.
