Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The probe is in. You have thirty seconds. This is the book that answers the question.Designed for use beside the patient, this guide presents transesophageal echocardiography in short, focused topics - most of them one or two pages. Every topic places the scan sequence, the key cutoffs, and a color diagram together on the same spread, so the answer is never more than a page turn away.Organized from preparation to the operating roomThe guide opens with patient screening, sedation, and probe insertion. It covers every standard view, a rescue sequence for the unstable patient, Doppler principles, and core calculations. Later sections address ventricular function, native and prosthetic valves, the aorta, masses and infection, the interatrial septum and shunts, and pericardial emergencies. The final section covers the operating room, circulatory support devices, structural procedures, and writing the report - everything a TEE-capable clinician encounters in a single resource.Built for the moment of decision- Numbered scan sequences - follow step by step without looking away from the screen- Cutoffs and grading criteria in compact tables - no hunting through paragraphs- Decision trees for hypotension, cardiac arrest, and other urgent problems- Checklists for the operating room and critical care- Color diagrams of views, measurements, and decision pathwaysSource references accompany the topics, and a complete index makes any item findable quickly. The compact trim size goes from white coat pocket to echo machine shelf to ICU cart without friction.For anesthesiologists, cardiologists, intensivists, sonographers, and trainees who need TEE answers at the bedside - not back at the desk.This book is an educational reference; values should be confirmed against current guidelines and institutional protocols.
