Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To find out the feasibility of measuring the RV systolic function parameters intraoperatively using different views of transesophageal echocardiography in adults undergoing cardiac surgery and also to evaluate the interchangeability of these measurements with those measured by transthoracic echocardiography. Timepoint: Baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To find out the best TEE view for measuring each of the individual parameters. 2. To find out the single best TEE view as compared to TTE, for measuring all the parameters. Timepoint: Baseline
