Validating TEE Measurements of Right Ventricular Function

NCT03264183 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 126

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is becoming a more prevalent method of monitoring and diagnosis in the perioperative setting for critically ill patients and patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Many TEE measurements are extrapolated from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) data and have not validated by transesophageal means. The aim of this study is to validate TEE assessment of right ventricular function by comparing them to simultaneously measured TTE measurements.

Likewise, there are currently no agreed upon values for RV free wall strain. Therefore, the investigators will attempt to define a range of normal values of RV free wall strain as compared to the other measures of RV function.
