The World Health Organisation (WHO) launched the Surgical Safety Checklist in 2008. The introduction of this checklist resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of complications and death in patients undergoing surgery. Consequently, the WHO Surgical Safety checklist is recommended for use by the National Patient Safety Agency for all patients undergoing surgery. However, many invasive or interventional procedures occur outside the theatre setting and there are increasing requirements for a safety checklist to be used prior to such procedures. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is an invasive procedure and although generally considered to be safe, it carries the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening complications. Strict adherence to a safety checklist may reduce the rate of significant complications during TOE. However, the standard WHO Surgical Safety Checklist is not designed for procedures outside the theatre environment and therefore this document is designed to be a procedure-specific safety checklist for TOE. It has been endorsed for use by the British Society of Echocardiography and the Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthetists.
世界卫生组织（WHO）于2008年推出了《手术安全核对表》。该核对表的引入显著降低了接受手术患者的并发症发生率和死亡率。因此，国家患者安全机构建议所有接受手术的患者使用WHO手术安全核对表。然而，许多侵入性或介入性操作是在手术室环境之外进行的，并且对于在此类操作之前使用安全核对表的要求也日益增加。经食管超声心动图检查（TOE）是一种侵入性操作，虽然通常被认为是安全的，但它存在严重且可能危及生命的并发症风险。严格遵守安全核对表可能会降低TOE期间严重并发症的发生率。然而，标准的WHO手术安全核对表并非为手术室环境之外的操作而设计，因此本文档旨在作为TOE特定操作的安全核对表。它已获得英国超声心动图学会和心胸麻醉师协会的认可使用。
