Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) and Simulation : a Preferred Learning Path (TEE)
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has gradually become the technique of choice for continuous functional examination of the heart despite the significant training required for its interpretation. It has proven to be the safest, fastest, and most reliable technique for diagnosing most intra- and postoperative hemodynamic problems. Indeed, the transesophageal route is particularly well adapted to the situation of intubated patients, whether in the operating room, in the outpatient department or in intensive care. It offers images that are easier to obtain and of better quality than the transthoracic route; it can be performed without interfering with surgical activity or resuscitation. However, TEE training is often poor during the DES training in anesthesia and resuscitation, reserved for the few interns who will learn in a specific department where TEE is used on a daily basis.
Thus, simulation is a logical and recognized means by which technical aspects, mechanisms involved in the understanding of a situation, reasoning and decision making can be analyzed and improved.
The RFE SFAR 2019 recommendations suggest the use of simulation for the learning of technical gestures in initial training in order to improve their acquisition.
This study is therefore part of a technical and diagnostic improvement of a practice, which appears to be essential in several fields in anesthesia and intensive care, for a technique still not sufficiently acquired by many future practitioners.
