After completion of this subject, students will have the knowledge of how to safely insert and clean a transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) probe, to acquire the standard TOE views, interpret haemodynamic state and limited valve assessment using two dimensional and colour flow Doppler, interpret common cardiac pathology and be able to write a focused ultrasound report. Students will have interpreted and written a report on 10 focused TOE studies of a wide range of commonly encountered cardiac pathology.
