Presentation Transcript

  1. Intraoperative Echocardiography • Harold G. Jackson II • Tulane University Anesthesiology Elective

  2. Indications ASSESSMENT MONITORING • Chamber Size • Valvular Function • Septal Thickness • Shunts • Masses • Perfusion • Myocardial Ischemia • Global Ventricular Function • Regional Wall Motion abnormalities • Valve Abnormalities • Intracardiac contrast • Venous Paradoxical Air Embolism

  3. Contraindications ABSOLUTE RELATIVE • Esophageal Pathology • Coagulopathy or Heparinization • Left Atrial Myxoma with Embolization

  4. Advantage of TEE vs Pulmonary Catheterization • Ventricular Wall motion abnormality detected by TEE is the most sensitive indicator of myocardial ischemia. • Most sensitive modality for detecting intracardiac air embolism. • Only device for monitoring paradoxical air embolism.

  5. American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Recommendations: TEE should be used for all cardiac or thoracic surgery patients. Including cardiac catheterization when general anesthesia is used.

  6. Functional Mitral Regurgitationb • Indicator of acute or chronic ischemia. Marked apical tenting of the mitral leaflets along with reduced leaflet coaptation. • The anterior mitral leaflet has a "dog's leg" shape in systole due to tethering of chordae which attach to the belly of the leaflet.

  8. Recap: Intraoperative Diagnosis • Early Ischemia and Air Embolism • Hypotensive etiology i.e. separation from cardiopulmonary bypass • Adequacy of valve repair and myectomy • Masses (myxoma, thrombus, embolus, vegetation) • Contrast techniques for shunts
