Abstract:
TEE applications for children and infants with congenital heart disease are now clinically established and TEE is being used in most major pediatric cardiovascular centers. This technology has evolved to the point that it is capable of providing diagnostic quality imaging, even for small infants. With expanding technology and increasing experience, new and more sophisticated applications will be found for pediatric TEE.

01:25Cardiovascular System Abnormal Findings II: Auscultation
Auscultation, an essential part of a heart examination, is done using a stethoscope. It provides crucial information about heart function and possible heart problems. Due to heart problems, abnormal sounds can be heard during systole or diastole. These sounds include S3 and S4 gallops, opening snaps, systolic clicks, and murmurs.

Pyloric obstruction, also referred to as gastric outlet obstruction, is a condition characterized by narrowing or blockage at the pylorus—the muscular valve regulating the flow of stomach contents into the duodenum. When this passage becomes impaired, the stomach cannot effectively empty its contents into the small intestine. This disruption leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, bloating, epigastric pain, postprandial nausea, persistent vomiting, and...
