Novel intubation technique for transesophageal echocardiographic examination.
Pharyngeal intubation is a challenging problem during transesophageal procedures. The rate of unsuccessful intubation varies from 1.5 to 1.9%. In this article, we described a novel technique, which we utilize in our hospital for the difficult intubations without any technical failure for the insertion of the transesophageal probe.
