Abstract
Examination of a heterogeneous hemodynamically unstable intensive care population with a miniature transesophageal echocardiography probe provided useful information beyond standard intensive care unit monitoring data, which influenced post-hTEE medical decision making. The examinations were more useful in patients without MCS devices than in those with MCS. Of the patients with MCS, patients with durable ventricular assist devices had the lowest rate of useful examinations.
