Right Ventricular Dysfunction
Conditions
Keywords
cardiac surgery, transoesophageal echocardiography
Brief summary
To establish the correlation between echocardiographic parameters of the RV, measured with TEE and the right ventricular ejection fraction (thermodilution). To identify a time in the perioperative process when RV dysfunction occurs.
Detailed description
Measurements with echocardiography were done during cardiac surgery to observe the right ventricular dysfunction in the perioperative process
Interventions
echocardiographic parameters of the RV, measured with TEE and the right ventricular ejection fraction (thermodilution)
