Konsensuspapier zur fokussierten transösophagealen Echokardiographie (fTEE) in der Klinischen Akut- und Notfallmedizin
摘要
In addition to intensive care medicine, focused transesophageal echocardiography (fTEE) is increasingly being used in emergency departments. fTEE should only be performed as part of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation or in cases of unclear shock if a particular issue cannot be clarified using focused transthoracic echocardiography (cardiac point-of-care ultrasound [cPOCUS]). The conditions, indications and performance of fTEE are summarized in this consensus paper in terms of quality management in echocardiography in clinical acute and emergency medicine.
