title: [Transesophageal echocardiography for registration of hemodynamics. A new tool in anesthesiology].
abstract: During the last ten years, transesophageal echocardiography has become an important tool for cardiac monitoring. In other countries it is widely applied, especially in cardiac surgery, but the areas of application are still expanding. Transesophageal echocardiography is a non-invasive technique in contrast to most other methods available for monitoring central haemodynamics. The complication frequency is extremely low. However, correct therapeutic decisions depend on profound experience with the equipment and image interpretation. The scope of transoesophageal echocardiography as a new tool in haemodynamic monitoring is described in this paper together with preliminary results.
