摘要

Objective: This investigation summarizes the initial clinical experience of trained echocardiographers who utilized a miniaturized disposable monoplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) system in patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia following out of hospital cardiac arrest.Design: A retrospective, single-center, observational study. Setting: A tertiary care university hospital.Patients: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 13 consecutive patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia following out of hospital cardiac arrest in which a disposable monoplane TEE probe was placed to observe myocardial recovery and potentially guide hemodynamic optimization. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 40 imaging sessions were performed. The success rate for obtaining the mid-esophageal four chamber and the transgastric mid-papillary short axis views were 92.5% and 100% respectively. Endocardial border definition was adequate in 90% of imaging sessions to measure left ventricular end diastolic and systolic areas enabling calculation of fractional area of change. Assessment of right ventricular function was possible in 92.5% of imaging sessions.A significant number of imaging sessions (12/40, 30%) provided information that clarified the patient’s biventricular function in the setting of ambiguous invasive pressure monitoring measurements.Conclusions: Acquisition of a mid esophageal four chamber and transgastric mid papillary view was possible with the miniaturized disposable TEE probe in the vast majority of imaging sessions. This information enabled the qualitative assessment of right ventricular function, measurement of left ventricular end systolic, and diastolic area with a high degree of success in patients during therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest. The authors postulate that serial assessment of biventricular function and filling with serial TEE imaging provides information that cannot be reliably inferred from other advanced hemodynamic monitoring devices in routine clinical practice. This work was funded by the Department of Anesthesiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Introduction Therapeutic hypothermia is an important evidence-based and cost effective therapy following resuscitation from out-of-hospital non-traumatic cardiac arrest [1]. Following resuscitation, practice guidelines recommend early hemodynamic optimization, however specific goals of resuscitation including central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, mixed venous oxygen saturation, hematocrit, lactate, urine output, and oxygen delivery index are not supported by prospective evaluation [2]. Echocardiography and cardiac output monitoring are recognized advanced monitoring tools to guide hemodynamic optimization in this patient population [2,3]. Recent literature has called into question the accuracy of cardiac output monitoring techniques during hemodynamic instability [4-6]. Practice guidelines generally favor TEE rather than transthoracic echocardiography in mechanically ventilated patients [7]. The challenges of using conventional TEE systems to monitor cardiac function and filling in the ICU setting have been previously described [8]. The ClariTEE? (Imacor, Uniondale, NY), a miniaturized disposable monoplane TEE probe is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to monitor cardiac function and filling for up to 72 hours in mechanically ventilated patients. The initial clinical experience of trained echocardiogpher’s who utilized this disposable TEE system in 13 patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is described. Materials and Methods This retrospective review was performed after the creation of an Institutional Review Board approved registry of patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Inclusion criteria for the hypothermia protocol included patients over the age of 18 years, estimated time from cardi

(Imacor,Uniondale,NY)是一种小型的一次性单翼TEE探针,已获得美国食品和药物管理局的批准,可监测机械通气患者的心脏功能和充盈长达72小时。描述了受过训练的超声心动图专家的初步临床经验,他们在13例院外心脏骤停后接受治疗性体温过低的患者中使用了这种一次性TEE系统。材料和方法这项回顾性研究是在医院院外心脏骤停后,经过机构审查委员会批准的对治疗性体温过低的患者进行登记后进行的。体温过低方案的纳入标准包括18岁以上的患者(估计得自心脏的时间)
