Transoesophageal Echocardiography and Left Ventricular Function
... The use of TOE to monitor left ventricular performance was one of the earliest applications in the intraoperative arena. This form of monitoring allows the anaesthetist to identify the causes of haemodynamic fluctuation and to detect segmental dysfunction, which may reflect myocardial ischemia. Intr ...
