The Truth Noodle

This page was designed to fill a void in critical care education surrounding the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) particularly in post-cardiac surgery patients. It is intended to provide a basic curriculum for any interested critical care fellows seeking to gain familiarity with TEE. The information provided is geared at the fellow who may be seeking preparation for the National Board of Echocardiography's Basic PTE exam, and who's primary use of TEE will be bedside decision making, often in rescue situations. May the menu to the left be your guide as you delve into the depths of image acquisition and interpretation.
