Workshop on Transoesophageal Echocardiography

Recently we conducted a IACTA( Indian Association of CardioThoracic Anesthesiologists) certified national level workshop on Transoesophageal Echocardiography. It was a first of its kind effort by Cardiac Anaesthesiologists in India. It was a three day workshop, with eminent faculty members from all over India and abroad. Since the idea was to give as much hands on exposure as possible to the delegates, the registrations were limited to thirty eight only which left many more who very keen to particpate,disappointed. The workshop included a lecture series on important and relevant topics in TEE, porcine heart dissection by each participant and total of three hours of hands on TEE training in the OR over two days. The workshop was not only well attended but also well appreciated.
I was privileged to be one of the faculty members in the workshop( and also one of the participants!). What you see below is my presentation.
