“…Numerous studies have investigated changes in the ventricular function after lung resection, though many of them only studied the hemodynamics of the RV, [ 2 , 18 – 20 ] and few studies accessed left ventricular function. [ 3 , 6 ] Previous studies have validated the accuracy of speckle tracking in the assessment of RV, [ 21 , 22 ] despite the well acceptance of STE in left ventricular strain analysis.…”

The impact of major lung resections on myocardial function has not been well-investigated. We aimed to identify this impact through the use of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) to evaluate the right and left ventricular myocardial function in patients who underwent lung resections.Thirty patients who had lung resections were recruited for this study. Ten patients who underwent pneumonectomies were matched by age and sex, with 20 patients who underwent lobectomies. STE was performed on both right and left ventricle (RV and LV). Strain values of pre and postlung resections were compared in both the pneumonectomy group and the lobectomy group. Comparison between the pneumonectomy group and the lobectomy group was also studied.Left ventricular ejection fraction remained normal (>55%), but significantly decreased after lung resection in both the pneumonectomy group and the lobectomy group. An accelerated heart rate was observed in both groups after lung resection, with the pneumonectomy group demonstrating extra rapid heart rate (P < 0.05). Strain values in the RV and LV decreased in both groups after lung resection, with the pneumonectomy group exhibiting a further decrease in longitudinal strain in LV and RV when compared with the lobectomy group (P < 0.05).Right and left ventricular dysfunction can occur after lung resection regardless of pneumonectomy or lobectomy, and lobectomy may have a less significant impact on myocardial functions. This study demonstrated that STE is able to detect acute cardiac dysfunction after lung resection.

“…When really need to use TEE, a written or verbal informed consent is essential. TEE probe should be inserted gently with a visualization aid[ 23 ] and performed by experienced operator who have completed dedicated training[ 24 ]. For now, it is our view that a standardized and fast CPR-TEE assessment process should be established as soon as possible[ 25 ].…”

BACKGROUND In recent years, it has been recognized that transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is of great value in resuscitation of cardiac arrest. However, its safety has rarely been reported. CASE SUMMARY We present a 59-year-old male patient scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery for rheumatic heart disease. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding from a Mallory-Weiss tear appeared following cardiopulmonary resuscitation, TEE, and percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass resuscitation when he suffered from aesthesia-related cardiac arrest. Gastrointestinal injury was diagnosed promptly and treated effectively. However, the exact etiology of gastrointestinal injury was unclear; the interaction of closed-chest cardiac massage and the application of TEE may be involved as a most possible mechanism of injury. CONCLUSION Serious complications should be considered when TEE is used in patients with special pathophysiological conditions.
