Transesophageal Echocardiography multimedia Manual

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 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.
