Transesophageal Echocardiography Multimedia Manual: A Perioperative Transdisciplinary Approach

Unlike any other source on the subject, this reference: Examines the impact of perioperative transesophageal echocardiography using several individualized examples based on authors' experience; provides tables summarizing key features and criteria useful for clinical interpretation of TEE data; presents echocardiographic images alongside annotated diagrams detailing various structures as well as information on 3D cardiac imaging plane orientation; contains perspectives from several specialties including those of the anesthesiologist, cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, and critical care physician; is accompanied by a companion DVD-ROM (Windows-only) containing 857 videoclips not only of the echocardiographic examination, but also the corresponding live hemodynamic pressure tracings, intraoperative surgical views, and anatomical specimens, as well as 3D animation depicting the orientation of the tomographic plane obtained with the transesophageal echocardiographic probe.

The first illustrative guide to follow the published objectives of the American National Board of Echocardiography perioperative TEE certification examination, this reference explores the role of transesophageal echocardiography and its relation with other monitoring and imaging modalities in the operating room, intensive care unit and catheterization laboratory.
