Practical Perioperative Transoesophageal Echocardiography, fourth edition is the definitive guide for cardiac anaesthesia and ICU specialists who use 2D and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) to manage perioperative cardiac patients. Informed by the latest evidence-based developments, this resource provides authoritative guidance on monitoring and diagnostic applications of TOE in a wide variety of surgical procedures. International expert authors outline practical techniques and focus on problem-solving and safe practice. Previously edited by Sidebotham et al., a new editing team has updated and reviewed each concept for pertinence, clarity, and accuracy, reflecting the evolution of the discipline. Extensively illustrated, this guide will help the reader prepare for the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) accreditation in TOE, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI)/European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EACTAIC) Certification in Adult TOE examination, and the North American National Board of Echocardiography's Advanced PTEeXAM®. This new edition emphasises 3D techniques and discusses left ventricular strain, tissue Doppler evolution, and recent advances in intraoperative TOE imaging for percutaneous structural cardiology procedures. An essential day-to-day reference and interactive guide, this unique book should never be far from your side.

"Review from previous edition The third edition of Practical Perioperative Transoesophageal Echocardiography, for all intents and purposes, should be considered the current "gold standard" transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) handbook. I recommend to all experienced echocardiographers who are looking for a handy reference guide for anatomy, pathology, and placement of prostheses and devices." - M. D. Thorleifson, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
