This study examined physicians' reasoning about obtaining transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cases of bacteremia (SAB). In 221 cases of SAB over 5 years, the most common reasons for not performing TEE were clinical response to antibiotics, negative TTE results, and the expectation that TEE would not change management.
本研究调查了医生在菌血症(SAB)病例中关于进行经食管超声心动图(TEE)检查的推理过程。在5年期间的221例SAB病例中,不进行TEE检查的最常见原因是对抗生素的临床反应、经胸超声心动图(TTE)结果为阴性以及预计TEE检查不会改变治疗方案。
