when is TEE probe inserted | after pt anesthetized, ETT secured, OG inserted for decompression of stomach contents |
how is TEE inserted | 1. mandible displaced anteriorly 2. probe placed into midline post. pharynx 3. inserted into esophagus 4. laryngoscope may be used to displace mandible and beter visualize esoph. opening |

TEE assessment | 1. **regional wall motion abnormalities - most sensitive indicator for cardiac event 2. SV (EF) 3. valve fx 4. intracardiac air 5. effects of AA/surg on cardiac fx 6. adequacy of IV volume 7. eschemic episode 4x more than ECG |
