Description
Summary:Highlights • Transesophageal echocardiography has not been studied comprehensively in obstetric patients in extremis. • This study identified 10 parturients receiving rescue transesophageal echocardiography in a tertiary care center. • The risk of hemodynamic deterioration exists throughout all stages of pregnancy. • Transesophageal echocardiography can aid the diagnosis and treatment of refractory hypotension in parturients.
