Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The aim of this study is to assess whether transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can be used to successfully guide an epidural catheter to a targeted thoracic level in pediatric patients. The catheter will be placed in the epidural space under real-time TEE imaging and assistance by a trained TEE operator (this could include an anesthesiologist or cardiologist).
