Excerpt

Echocardiography is increasingly used in the intensive care unit (ICU) as a diagnostic imaging modality and for discontinuous hemodynamic monitoring [1]. A recent large American data-based study reported that echocardiography may have a prognostic impact in different clinical fields, such as sepsis [2]. Critical care echocardiography mainly relies on surface examination, whereas transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is markedly less frequently performed in most ICUs [3]. Nevertheless, TEE shares most of the key properties defining an “ideal” hemodynamic monitoring system [4]. We herein describe 10 good reasons for using TEE to monitor hemodynamics in unstable ventilated patients. …
