Major complications of transesophageal echocardiography occur in 0.2% to 0.5% of cases, with increased risk during intraoperative use due to factors like esophageal trauma.
The risks associated with transesophageal echocardiography include airway obstruction and hemodynamic compromise, particularly in pediatric patients with anatomical constraints.
Contraindications for transesophageal echocardiography involve specific esophageal pathologies, recent upper GI surgeries, and limitations in visualizing certain cardiac structures.
Awareness of potential complications allows clinicians to enhance patient safety while utilizing transesophageal echocardiography's diagnostic advantages.
