Initial placement of TEE probe by observing the position of esophageal opening in advance on improving the success rate of initial placement of TEE probe by observing the position of esophageal opening: a randomized controlled study
The pre-observation group achieved a higher first-attempt success rate for probe placement compared to the conventional group, with patients experiencing less severe and shorter-lasting postoperative odynophagia, indicating significant advantages over the conventional blind insertion technique.
