Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) to Guide and Confirm Epidural Catheters in Pediatric Patients
In Brief
An observational study evaluating TEE for Epidural Space. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to assess whether transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can be used to successfully guide an epidural catheter to a targeted thoracic level in pediatric patients. The catheter will be placed in the epidural space under real-time TEE imaging and assistance by a trained TEE operator (this could include an anesthesiologist or cardiologist).
