Cardiogenic refractory hypoxaemia secondary to blunt chest trauma: diagnosis by transoesophageal echocardiography.
A 53 year old man suVered severe head and blunt chest trauma as a result of a fall (from four metres high). On arrival at the emergency room he was unconscious with hypovolaemic circulatory shock. Following orotracheal intubation and resuscitation with blood, inotropic agents, and crystalloid, he was transferred to the neurosurgical intensive care unit.

متن کاملMechanism of closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation investigated by transoesophageal echocardiography.
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) was performed during closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in 18 subjects in cardiac arrest. Compression of all four cardiac chambers resulted in forward flow in the pulmonary and systemic circulations, retrograde pulmonary vein flow and incomplete mitral valve closure. Antegrade pulmonary vein flow and left ventricular filling occurred exclusi...

DESIGN Prospective study over a three year period. SETTING A regional cardiothoracic centre. PATIENTS 134 consecutive patients (94 M/40 F; mean age 38 (SD 14) years) suffering from s...
متن کاملHypoxaemia during transoesophageal echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES To establish the incidence and severity of arterial oxygen desaturation during transoesophageal echocardiography performed under light intravenous sedation; to determine which patients are at greatest risk; and to assess the effects of supplementary oxygen treatment. DESIGN Prospective study of 150 patients referred for transoesophageal echocardiography. SETTING Echocardiography ...
متن کاملTransoesophageal stress echocardiography.
Transoesophageal echocardiography has been performed in conjunction with pacing, dobutamine, or dipyridamole stress to detect stress-inducible ischaemia, and has proved to be a highly accurate diagnostic tool. Its advantages of improved image quality and high diagnostic accuracy have to be weighed against the disadvantages of semi-invasiveness and patient discomfort. The existing data on this s...
