Three-dimensional critical care transesophageal echocardiography: A bedside tool in the diagnosis and management of shock.

Transesophageal echocardiography has gained importance, particularly in critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation. We describe echocardiographic findings concerning a patient admitted with confusion, pulmonary edema, hypotension, and systolic murmur at apex.
