Transoesophageal echocardiography in the critically ill
View through CrossRef
Echocardiography offers real‐time bedside diagnosis and monitoring of a variety of structural and functional abnormalities of the heart. Transoesophageal echocardiography, in particular, provides information on cardiac contractility, filling status and output, valvular morphology and function and on the structure of the ascending and descending aorta in the critically ill patient. The full range of modalities of echocardiography, including M‐mode, 2‐D‐mode, colour Doppler and spectral Doppler, is at the disposal of the intensive care specialist. In this review, the indications for and the clinical impact of transoesophageal echocardiography and Doppler are discussed.
