Transnasal transesophageal echocardiography

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1997
Transesophageal echocardiography has been used as a diagnostic tool in the critical care unit. However, long-term serial evaluation of ventricular function with transesophageal echocardiography is difficult because of the current probe sizes and intolerance to prolonged oral intubation.

Transesophageal Echocardiography in Stroke

Cardiology in Review, 2000
Fifteen to twenty percent of all ischemic strokes are of cardioembolic origin. Since the introduction of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in 1976, its clinical application in the diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke has expanded greatly. Comprehensive literature has accumulated showing TEE as an invaluable tool for the diagnosis of cardioembolic ...

TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Critical Care Clinics, 1996
This article presents an overview of the benefits and efficacy of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the critically ill patient. The echocardiographic evaluation of ventricular function both regional and global, is discussed with special emphasis on ischemic heart disease; assessment of preload, interrogation of valvular heart disease ...

Transesophageal Echocardiography

Postgraduate medicine
Abstract The use of ultrasonography in the intensive care unit has revolutionized patient care and is continuing to evolve as new tools are developed. The use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offers additional information when use of transthoracic echocardiography may be limited.

Transesophageal echocardiography and stroke

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2005
Only coronary artery disease and cancer kill more people than stroke in the United States. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a semi-invasive ultrasound cardiac imaging technique that provides superior anatomic detail as well as functional information.

Transesophageal Echocardiography: Is it for Everyone?

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1990
Intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to detect ischemia is more predictive of a postoperative myocardial infarction than is ECG, and two-dimensional (2-D) TEE has been shown to be more sensitive than ECG in detecting regional wall-motion abnormalities, which are highly suggestive of ischemia.

[New procedures in transesophageal echocardiography: multiplane transesophageal echocardiography and transesophageal stress echocardiography].

Herz, 1994
Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography is a new development in transducer technology, which allows by rotation of the transducer to obtain not only transverse and longitudinal planes but also all intermediate planes. Exterior control allows continuous rotation of the scanning plane from the conventional transverse plane, corresponding to 0 degree,
