Abstract

Trans-oesophageal echocardiography (TOE) has become an almost universal intraoperative monitor and diagnostic tool. The use of TOE in most cardiac, aortic, major vascular and transplant operations is used to aid anaesthetic management as well as assist surgical decision-making. In addition to the perioperative environment it is increasingly being used in the Outpatient Department, Emergency Department and Intensive Care settings. In this review we consider the safety associated with the use of TOE, we review the suggested contra-indications and areas that we would consider to TOE to be a necessity. Two case reports at the beginning of the review highlight the need for vigilance and care when utilizing TOE.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 August 2019.
All research outputs
#6,196,097
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from Echo Research & Practice
#144
of 241 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#126,464
of 437,131 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Echo Research & Practice
#7
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 241 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.6. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 437,131 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
