Long description:

The third edition of the Transesophageal Echocardiography Multimedia Manual is a comprehensive resource and essential guide to the rapidly expanding field of perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), encompassing its role in newer cardiac surgery techniques, diverse interventional procedures, and the intensive care unit.

This well-illustrated manual, accompanying videos, and self-test questions demonstrate recent developments and challenges for the anesthesiologist, cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, critical care physician, and those interested in perioperative TEE. The accompanying online resources present two-dimensional (2D) examples in their original video format accompanied by sketches, three-dimensional (3D) orientation, Doppler-related information, and hemodynamic, radiologic, and anatomic correlation to assist the user in visualizing the dynamic process of TEE.

• Six new chapters cover the role of TEE in minimally invasive cardiac surgical techniques, structural heart disease, noncardiac surgery, extracardiac TEE, and cardiac arrest.








• Material related to new imaging techniques such as 3D TEE were added to all existing chapters.








• Access through a companion website offers over 1800 videos which showcase normal imaging, pathology, and intra-procedural techniques aiding the interpretation of findings and procedures. Especially helpful are videos using 3D augmented reality to highlight the acquisition of 2D and 3D echocardiographic views.








• Global contributions provide expert perspectives from over 170 internationally experienced anesthesiologists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, critical care physicians, and radiologists.
