Chapter 20: TEE for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

TEE's role in robotic and minimally invasive surgery is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on probe positioning and visualization through limited access. Instructional videos will showcase real surgical applications.

RV strain and Anrep effect. A 68-year-old man is undergoing robotic revascularization with single lung ventilation. Compare the RVFWSL, second generation cerebral rSO<sub>2,</sub> TCD on the RMCA, and hemodynamic parameters at (A-D) baseline, (E-H) during one lung ventilation and (I-L) back on two lung ventilation. There is an increase in RVFWSL during one lung ventilation associated with a parallel increase in rSO<sub>2</sub>, ETCO<sub>2</sub> and CVP, but transient reduction in TCD and both Pfa and Pra. The combination of a rise in carbon dioxide and an Anrep effect can explain the increase in strain and in rSO<sub>2</sub> values.<em> Abbreviations</em>: DcHbi, change in total hemoglobin index; DHhbi, change in deoxygenated hemoglobin index; DO<sub>2</sub>Hbi, change in oxygenated hemoglobin index; CVP, central venous pressure; Diast, diastolic; DM%, delta mean or % compared to baseline mean velocity; ETCO<sub>2</sub>, end-tidal carbon dioxide; HR, heart rate; Pfa, femoral arterial pressure;PI, pulsatility index; Pra, radial arterial pressure; RI, resistance index; RMCA, right middle cerebral artery; rSO<sub>2</sub>, regional oxygen saturation; RV, right ventricle; RVFWSL, right ventricular free wall strain longitudinal; SaO2, oxygen saturation; TCD, transcranial Doppler.
