Cleaning of the TEE probe -- A costly lesson learned!
View through CrossRef
The clinical utility of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the
perioperative period has increased remarkably in the past decade. TEE
made the life of perioperative physicians easier by playing a key role
in the decision-making process, helping in clinical and surgical
management, and improving patient outcomes.[1](#ref-0001) Although
there are published guidelines[2](#ref-0002) on the process of
cleaning and disinfection of the TEE probes, we intend to highlight the
importance of educating the personnel involved in taking care of the
equipment to prevent damage to the TEE probes
