Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography to Monitor for Pulmonary Emboli in a Pediatric Patient Undergoing Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma of the Liver Resection
A minimally invasive monitoring technique, intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), has been utilized to provide real-time data on volume status and ventricular function in patients undergoing liver transplantation. In this case, TEE was utilized in an 8-year-old female undergoing undi...
