Aurora St Luke’s Medical Center:
Protocol For Transesophageal Echocardiogram
Required ICAEL Images And Text
- Gastric short axis and long axis view
- Standard 2 & 4 chambers view
- Short and long axis view of Aorta with appropriate Doppler
- Multiple Imaging planes of Mitral Valve with appropriate Doppler
- Multiple Imaging planes of Tricuspid Valve with appropriate Doppler
- Longitudinal view of Pulmonic Valve with appropriate Doppler
- Longitudinal view of Right Atrium,Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage with appropriate Doppler
- In cases of suspected cardiac source of emboli, appropriate use of contrast methods to evaluate for the presence of intracardiac shunting.
- Multiple Imaging planes of atrial septum and foramen ovale with appropriate Doppler
- Imaging of Pulmonary Veins with Doppler
- Short axis view of the Ascending Aorta, Descending Aorta and Transverse Of Aorta
- Long axis view of MPA and proximal portion of Right Pulmonary Artery and Left Pulmonary Artery
- Images of the proximal inferior vena cava and superior vena cava
- Multiple Imaging planes of atrial septum and foramen ovale with appropriate Doppler
- Imaging of Pulmonary Veins with Doppler
