Doctors utilize Trans-esophageal echocardiography, which provides better view of the left atrium thrombus, atrial septal defect, aortic dissection, and mitral valve prolapsed, to withdraw detailed information of your heart
Four to six hours prior to the TEE test, food and beverage intake are forbidden; and the patient is required to sign a consent form.
When taking a TEE test, the medical examiner would either spray anesthetic locally on the patient’s mouth or inject anesthetic to help him or her relax. The doctor would then gently insert a flexible tube down the patient’s throat to the esophagus until it reaches the back of his or her heart.
The patient should not intake any food or beverage for at least 30 minutes; if there is minor blood in saliva, do not panic; do inform us if there are blood clots in saliva.
