TEE at the point of care

Make clear decisions in a timely manner with TEE

Transesophageal Ultrasound used in emergency medicine and critical care settings can help you promote high-quality of care with confidence¹.

Combining the features you need with the efficiencies you want

T8-3 TEE transducer

For clinicians using TEE at the bedside, a clear cardiac window is necessary. The T8-3 transducer offers access to the heart for more confidence in assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients when intervention is needed most.

With Sonosite's advanced image clarity and the T8-3's flexible design and optimized cardiac resuscitation exam type, it offers workflow efficiency to aid clinicians' efforts to achieve desired patient outcomes.

Cardiac resuscitation exam type

The cardiac resuscitation exam displays a scan-along image protocol while the clinician is performing an exam to assist them with achieving the images of four key cardiac visualizations:

Mid esophageal four

chamber fire (ME4C)

Mid esophageal long

view (ME LAX)

Transgastric mid-short

axis view (TG Mid SAX)

Mid esophageal bicaval

view (ME Bicaval)

Lifecycle of the transducer is critical when using TEE at the point of care

Care and maintenance workflow

The TEE exam type is a relatively small part, while the care and maintenance of the transducer are much of the workflow. Understanding how the transducer fits into the hospital ecosystem is essential.
