Conclusion 211References 212Important roles of perioperative transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) include the determination of baselineventricular function before a surgical procedureand the identification of changes in ventricular functionduring cardiac and noncardiac procedures whichin some cases may lead to severe hemodynamicinstability which, when unresponsive to therapy, isconsidered a category 1 indication for the use ofTEE (1). In such cases TEE allows precise determinationof the mechanism of hemodynamic instabilitythrough evaluation of both left and right systolic anddiastolic function.185
