Preface to the First Edition

Christopher J. Gallagher, MD
If you are doing cardiac anesthesia, cardiac surgery, or intensive care work, and you don’t know Transesophageal Echocardiography, you are yesterday’s newspaper. You are a repairman for 8-track cassette players. You are selling slide rules.
You need to know TEE.
Board Stiff TEE is just the ticket. I wrote this book to give you a complete introduction to the subject, from the physics of ultrasound to the images you need to recognize to the hemodynamic calculations you can make with TEE. The whole nine yards. Plus, I direct you to those places where you can deepen your understanding of TEE.
Board Stiff TEE is the perfect launch pad.
Board Stiff TEE is for the medical student, the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the intensivist, who asks, “Just where do I start?”
The book details

  Why you need to know TEE
  Which books and meetings will help the most
  Everything you need to know if you take the PTEeXAM
  How to work through the quantitative aspects of TEE
Board Stiff TEE is jam-packed with simplified drawings to illustrate all the points you need to know. No need to decipher a small photograph of a TEE image; everything here is laid out with the student in mind. Especially when you start out, it’s hard to tell what’s what in a photograph of a TEE image. These drawings will lay it out for you. Best of all, learning TEE does not have to be a replay of your root canal. Board Stiff TEE has a dollop of humor here and there to keep your eyes open and your airway from obstructing.
Several people helped in this affair. Alicia Borus gave expert secretarial help; my editor Natasha Andjelkovic reined in my more outlandish prose; Elsevier’s illustrators redid all the drawings, improving on my “magic marker in a Crayola pad” work; and J.C. Duffy did the cover and the cartoons. Through it all, my wife endured my manic ravings.
And final thanks to my daughter Rachel, who is a blast.
