Overview

This review highlights how point-of-care ultrasound and transesophageal echocardiography improve diagnosis and management during the perioperative period.

Key Points

  • Point-of-care ultrasound allows rapid assessment of patients in both pre-operative and post-operative settings, enhancing treatment outcomes.
  • Transesophageal echocardiography serves as a vital tool in the intraoperative environment to monitor cardiovascular health and address emergencies.
  • Assessing gastric emptying and the risk of hypotension by using point-of-care ultrasound can significantly guide anesthesiologists during surgery.
  • This review emphasizes how perioperative imaging techniques can diagnose conditions like myocardial ischemia and aortic dissection, leading to timely interventions.
