About this book
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a valuable diagnostic modality now routinely used during cardiac surgery and in the intensive care unit. Increasingly, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and critical care physicians trained in TEE provide the service in both settings where they face the challenge of integrating numerous current TEE guidelines into day-to-day practice. Perioperative Two-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography: A Practical Handbook, 2nd Edition has been designed to be a concise, portable guide for using TEE to recognize cardiac pathology during the perioperative period.
This compact guide has a diverse appeal for anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons and cardiologists desiring comprehensive up-to-date echocardiographic information at their fingertips.

Reviews
“The second edition of Perioperative Two-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography: A Practical Handbook is a captivating clinical adjunct, useful quick reference guide, and a tour de force of 2D perioperative transesophageal echocardiography. … is highly recommended and is a solid clinical teaching aid that illustrates the field of perioperative echocardiography.” (David T. Andrews, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 127 (05), November, 2018)
“The primary audience is residents, fellows, or practitioners, primarily in cardiothoracic surgery, anesthesiology, and cardiology, who will be caring for perioperative cardiac surgery patients. … The strongest components of the book are the echo images, anatomical figures, and illustrations. … This feature makes this a valuable reference source. … I do not know of another book that incorporates this amount of information with good, clear TEE images that can be easily brought into the OR.” (Michael Bates, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2018)
