Does transesophageal echocardiography Doppler improve hemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients?

Population

Critically ill patients with circulatory failure in the intensive care unit

Intervention

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) Doppler

Outcome

Hemodynamic assessment (cardiac output, cardiac preload dependence, right ventricular function, and left ventricular filling pressure)surrogate

Transesophageal echocardiography is a valuable tool for comprehensive functional hemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients, despite a lack of RCTs showing outcome benefits.

Limitations

Absence of randomized controlled studies documenting transesophageal echocardiography benefits on patient outcome
