It is a very useful modality for detailed evaluation of cardiac structure and function. However, performing a TEE needs some expertise to get the adequate views and interpretation. The TEE workshop was a two-day program where 15-20 Cardiologists from all over Odisha were trained on how to perform a TEE. There was hands-on exposure with simulators.
