In the ventilated unstable ICU patient, transoesophageal echocardiography TOE offers point-of-care haemodynamic assessment in clinical situations where the limitations of available monitors pulmonary artery catheters and pulse pressure analysis are apparent. Interval monitoring with a conventional multiplane TOE probe is effective, but not commonly used, as it is known to be associated with complications. A recently introduced, miniaturized 5. This is a prospective quality review study.
The criteria for ClariTEE probe insertion was haemodynami Cardiac Arrest CA is an important cause of death, 50 percent occurring outside hospitals. One-half of these patients are found in Ventricular Fibrillation VF or pulseless ventricular taquicardia.
Within this group, better survival is achieved with early defibrillation less than four to eight minutes. Early BLS is also associated with better survival, by delaying the deterioration of the cardiac rhythm to asystole. The incidence of PMI among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery is low and its mortality is negligible.
Physicians should become more selective in the use of monitored beds and in the ordering of a work up to rule out PMI. Percentage of total myocardial cell death was 3. Log in with Facebook Log in with Google.
