The nurses in these Echo labs perform a transesophageal echo (TEE) which involves inserting a probe into the esophagus to get closer images of the heart, providing clearer views of certain areas. These are different from a surface echo (transthoracic echo) that uses a probe placed on the chest to obtain heart images, but with less detail in some cases. The TEE procedures are conducted in a procedure room, where nurses are responsible for either charting or administering medications. Patients are generally under conscious sedation. The nurse administering the medications is also tasked with managing the patient's airways. A caregiver in this position works PRN days 7:00am—5:30pm.
