Perioperative Transthoracic Echocardiography Practice By Cardiac Anesthesiologists-Report of a "Start-Up" Experience.
In this paper, the authors report their experience of perioperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) practice and its impact on perioperative patient management. ⋯ Perioperative focused TTE examination is useful in the diagnosis of new cardiac conditions for anesthesia management (intraoperative monitoring and hemodynamic therapy) and postoperative care (intensive care unit admissions). Perioperative TTE performed by anesthesiologists can also help avoid procedural delays and unnecessary consults.
