  1. Echocardiographic Heart Anatomy Enrique Pantin, MD Professor of Anesthesiology Robert

    Wood Johnson University Hospital – Rutgers RWJMS http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/files/2015/06/shutterstock_198620987.jpg
  2. Equipment / resources available  Echocardiography laboratory with Phillips machines

     Operation room Philips machines – 5 EPIQ machines » Adult and pediatric TEE and TTE probes » L12-4 probes » L15-7 “hockey stick” probe – 6 Sparq machines » Vascular, CVICU, peds OR, and PACU -C  Echocardiography library  Digital echo lab  YouTube
  3. Ultrasound-basics  Ultrasound: sound with a frequency greater than 20,000Hz

     Advantages of US as a diagnostic tool: It can be directed as a beam Obeys the laws of reflection and refraction Is reflected by small size objects
  4.  Frequency number of cycles in a given time velocity

    = frequency x wavelength velocity of sound in human soft tissue 1,540m/sec  Penetration decreases as frequency increases Ultrasound-basics
  5.  Depth  Resolution  Attenuation depends on the “half-value

    layer” Water= 380cm; blood =15; soft tissue=1-5; muscle= 0.6-1. Ultrasound-basics
  6. Advantages of TEE over TTE  TTE does not provide

    complete or adequately detailed information in the evaluation of: – posterior cardiac structures (e.g. left atrium, left atrial appendage, interatrial septum, the aorta distal to the root) – assessment of prosthetic cardiac valves – delineation of cardiac structures less than 3 mm in size (e.g. small vegetations or thrombi) Pavlides et al., 1990
  7. Advantages of TEE over TTE  Image quality with TTE

    is significantly limited by ultrasound interference by chest wall and lung especially in obese and elderly patients and in patients with COPD  TEE is conclusive in many cardiac diseases so that it can diagnose 95% of cases versus 48% using TTE Pavlides et al., 1990
  8.  Evaluate heart anatomy, function and ischemia susceptibility  Evaluate

    native or mechanical heart valves, great vessels and de-airing.  Heart transplantation  Mechanical assist device placement (IABP, VAD, ECMO, etc.)  Post-operative assessment  Hypotension: differential diagnosis  Hemodynamics  Guide for procedures (cannulation, structural heart cases, etc)  Suspected massive PE  Unexplained hypoxemia  Trauma  Suspected endocarditis  Source of embolus  Follow up tool  Electrophysiology lab, pacemaker optimization TTE/TEE Clinical Applications
  9. TEE: is it useful ? Alters the planned cardiac surgical

    procedure: 5.6% 1.4% valvular 4.2% PFO Anesthesia & Analgesia 2002 95(4):824-7 TEE altered the management in five ways in the OR or ICU: 1) changing medical therapy 2) changing surgical therapy 3) confirmation of a diagnosis 4) positioning of an intravascular device 5) substitute to a pulmonary artery catheter Can J of Anaesthesia 2002 49(3):287-93
  10. TEE: is it useful ? TEE for elective valve replacement

    in 300 patients: clinical impact 1.3% 0.7% had an additional valve repair /replaced 0.7% diagnosed valvular malfunction / complication J Am Soc of Echocardiography 2001 14(7):659-67 TEE is a beneficial and cost-effective intervention in children requiring complex cardiac repair Surgical therapy was altered in 3% of patients. Am Heart Journal 1999 138:771-6
  11. The incidence of new information ranges from 12.8% to 38.6%,

    whereas the impact on treatment ranged from 9.7% to 14.6%. http://www.acc.org/clinical/guidelines/echo/index.pdf TEE: is it useful ?
  12. TEE contraindications Relative Esophageal pathology ( Zenker’s diverticulum, esophagitis, esophageal

    varices, dysphagia, etc) Severe respiratory insufficiency (non-intubated patient) Large ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm Absolute Esophageal or gastric perforation / recent surgery No cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment available
  13. TEE Safety • General population – Complications rate less than

    0.5% – Out of 10,000 one death »hemorrhage from esophageal cancer. –Swallowing dysfunction (7.8 times greater odds) –Gastro-esophageal injury estimated in one in 10,000 • ICU –Complications rate 1.7% –Serious Cx 0.2% (respiratory failure, seizures) • 7200 intraoperative TEE performed in cardiac surgical patients, • no mortality and a morbidity of only 0.2% were observed Anesth Analg. 2001;92:1126-30

  20.  Disadvantages of Ultrasound: – Operator dependent – Interpretation requires

    experience – Limited view of aortic arch (TEE) – Invasive (TEE) – Ultrasound machine can serve as a fomite Conclusions
  21.  Preoperative Evaluation – Aortic Stenosis – Ventricular Function –

    Pericardial / Pleural Effusion  Intraoperative Monitoring – Preload – Myocardial Ischemia – RV / LV Function  Intraoperative Evaluation – Non Responsive Hypotension – Preload – Ventricular Function  Trauma  Cardiac Arrest Conclusions
  22.  Big mentality change – To adopt it and exploit

    the potential of bedside ultrasonography  Requires acquisition of an ultrasound machine and training of physicians Conclusions
  23.  “Ultrasound will result in loss of the ability to

    perform landmark-based techniques when an ultrasound is not available”  Largest barrier appears to be the lack of a clear path for training and credentialing physicians in bedside ultrasound techniques. Conclusions
  24.  Very useful  Very low risk of complications 

    Easy to learn the basic examination  Part of the training of the anesthesiologist, intensivist, trauma surgeon, and emergency physician (should be) Conclusions
  25.  Rapid diagnosis  Portable  No instrumentation of aorta

     No need for contrast  Aids resuscitation  Diagnosis of cardiac injuries Conclusions
  26.  Increases the quality of care and speed of diagnosis

    in hemodynamically unstable patients  Should be part of the “routine” examination on any patient admitted to an ICU! Conclusions
  27. MI, myocardial stunning, myocarditis, motion artifacts and BBB can cause

    RWMA but a sudden, severe decrease or cessation of segmental contraction is almost due to myocardial ischemia. Conclusions
  28. Use EKG (ST, rhythm, BBB, pacer, TIME EVENTS) Evaluate the

    heart regionally and globally Clinical correlation Conclusions
  29. Refresh the anatomy Every patient is different (no need to

    memorize angle). Record baseline exam Conclusions
  30. Eyeball LV systolic function (Calibrate yourself using cardiologist, videos, CATH

    and ECHO REPORTS) Test yourself against experts (QA) Talk to surgeons Conclusions
