“…In the acute setting, these diagnostic modalities are useful given the widespread availability of the technology and the dissemination of the knowledge required to perform and interpret the studies. TEE is less widely available in the acute setting, but is increasingly available in trauma center operating rooms [9].…”

We present a case of delayed diagnosis of traumatic tricuspid valve rupture in a patient who was emergently brought to the operating room for repair of lacerations to the heart and liver without intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Initial postoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) did not show structural pathology. One week later, TTE with better image quality showed severe tricuspid regurgitation. Subsequently, TEE clearly demonstrated rupture of the anterior papillary muscle and flail anterior tricuspid leaflet. The case description is followed by a brief discussion of the utility of TEE in the setting of blunt thoracic trauma.

“…Up to this date, there are very few focused TEE protocols described specifically for trauma patients [ 13 •, 37 ]. Teranhas described a focused TEE protocol for resuscitation in the emergency department and critical care; it includes four basic TEE views (mid-esophageal four-chamber, mid-esophageal long axis, bi-caval and trans-gastric short axis) that are quick and easy to obtain and interpret during resuscitation [ 7 •].…”

Purpose of Review This review article summarizes the advantages and potential uses of focused transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the perioperative period for trauma patients. We suggest a locally developed TEE protocol for trauma and provide strategies to achieve widespread use of TEE in the anesthesia care of trauma patients. Recent Findings In recent years, TEE has gained interest as an additional modality as point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for the resuscitation of acutely ill patients in whom transthoracic echocardiography is not feasible or non-diagnostic. Nevertheless, its use among non-cardiac anesthesiologists is still limited compared to the more traditional POCUS applications. Summary A goal-directed, focused TEE can be performed at the bedside in different locations and mechanically ventilated patients. TEE provides relevant diagnostic information to guide the resuscitation of acutely injured patients, particularly to identify life-threatening hidden thoracic injuries in the scenario of patients with multi-system trauma.

“…El objetivo de la utilización de la ETE es la monitorización directa y en tiempo real del corazón y sus grandes vasos para así realizar un diagnóstico precoz y guiar la terapia con drogas vasoactivas y fluidos siguiendo las imáge-nes y mediciones de volumen y función de cavidades cardíacas 10,13,66 . El impacto positivo y beneficios del uso de ETE en cirugía vascular, ortopedia, transplante hepático, trauma, neurocirugía y en general en pacientes de alto riesgo o inestables han sido documentado en numerosas publicaciones 9,10,13,14,34,41,54,65,66,68,72-77, [80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88] .…”
