Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Planned determining the contractility of the heart in adult intensive care patients. • Written informed consent of the patient to participate. • Age> 18 years of age.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • ASA> 4 or life expectancy of the test subscriber is less than the test duration. • Participation in another interventional clinical trials. • diseases or disorders that participation in this clinical trial rule by investigator judgment (eg located in operational support systems (IABP, MECC), hemodynamic instability, heart valve diseases).

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Difference between the index of myokardial contractility measured with the compared measurement method (electric Kardiometrie®) and the value determined by means of TEE.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
• time required from the beginning of the establishment of the measurement procedures pending first readings. • complication of the measurement method used.	—
