Abstract
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) offers real-time diagnosis and monitoring of a variety of structural and functional abnormalities of the heart in critically ill patients. It provides, in particular, useful information on cardiac contractivity, filling status and output, valvular morphology and function and the structure of the ascending and descending aorta. The anaesthetist disposes of the full range of echocardiographic modalities, including M-mode, two-dimensional and colour Doppler echocardiography. This chapter describes how different two-dimensional images can be obtained, presents a summary of the anatomical and functional information available in those images and relates this information to the clinical questions which form the indications to perform TOE.
