Study Summary

Transesophageal ultrasound offers imaging through the esophagus on the surface of the heart, with good image quality and unique advantages. However, no studies to date have examined its effect in critically ill patients in China.Therefore, the investigators aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of TEE with TTE. the investigators will conducte a Multi-center, prospective observational control study enrolling critically ill adult patients in several ICU in China .

Study Description

Patients in ICU were assessed for the need for TEE by trained researcher. Eligible patients would be conducted tee examination by researcher A, TTE by the researcher B ,at the same time, researcher C records the basic condition and clinical data of patientsand carried out micro-enlargement test.The examination results are judged by A and B respectively and provided to the physician of this patient, and A return visit to the physician wold be conducted by researcher D to evaluate the acceptance of TTE and TEE results and judge the clinical effects. The primary outcome is the clinical effects.
