Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the interpretative skills of cardiac anesthesiologists in transesophageal echocardiograms (TEEs) compared to primary echocardiographers, such as radiologists and cardiologists.
- A systematic review of literature from 1952-2022 found that cardiac anesthesiologists had an 84% concordance rate with primary echocardiographers regarding TEE interpretations.
- The results suggest that cardiac anesthesiologists interpret TEEs at a level comparable to primary echocardiographers, but there is currently no established gold standard for measuring accuracy in TEE readings.
