Transnasal TOE: An alternate approach in the setting of difficult probe placement for seated spinal surgery

Transnasal transoesophageal echocardiography may be an effective alternative approach when difficulty is encountered while placing a probe for patients with severe kyphoscoliosis. We describe a successful approach in a patient presenting for orthopaedic fixation and review the current literature.
