Transesophageal Echocardiography
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a semi-invasive perioperative monitor providing real-time, high-resolution imaging of cardiac anatomy and hemodynamics. Using a probe positioned in the esophagus, it guides surgical decision-making, detects complications, and assesses valve function. Mastery requires systematic image acquisition, Doppler interpretation, and vigilance for esophageal injury and arrhythmias.
