Excerpt

Since its introduction in the early 1980s, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has grown to become a standard of care in cardiac anesthesia and a widely used diagnostic tool in many non-cardiac anesthesia environments. In critical care, TEE and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) combine to provide us with a better understanding of cardiac function and hemodynamics. Indeed, echocardiography is so ubiquitous in anesthesia practice that many think it should be a fundamental cognitive skill taught to all anesthesiology trainees during residency.1,2 …
