Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation (NIV) During Transesophageal Echocardiography
摘要
Transesophageal echocardiography is an essential procedure in the diagnosis of valvular heart disease, if transthoracic echocardiography proves inadequate, and can also be useful for procedural planning and guidance. Transesophageal echocardiography can be successfully performed with noninvasive ventilation (NIV), avoiding the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation.
