Description

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a specialised cardiac imaging technique that provides detailed images of the heart and great vessels using an ultrasound probe placed in the oesophagus. This course covers the fundamentals of echocardiography, including principles of sound waves and image acquisition. Participants will learn to identify key cardiac structures such as the atria, ventricles, valves, and major vessels, essential for diagnosing and monitoring cardiac conditions. Patient preparation is crucial, involving monitoring vital signs, administering sedation if necessary, and explaining the procedure.
