Brief Summary  
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an invaluable tool in the cardiac anesthesia armamentarium and used to assess cardiac structure and function. Requirement of TEE is critical in every step during perioperative period, beginning from the preoperative confirmation of diagnosis, surgical decision making, assessment of ventricular function and ensuring adequate postoperative repair. Conventionally, TEE probe is inserted blindly. However, repeated attempt of conventional blind insertion technique may cause oropharyngeal laceration, oesophageal tear, gastric injury leading to gastrointestinal bleeding, and dysphagia. 
The incidence of major complications associated with TEE probe is very low around 0.08% (1:1300 examination), but the probability of death is high, almost >40% if any such major complication occurs. Hence, sometimes jaw thrust, and/or conventional laryngoscope is used to aid the insertion of the TEE probe. Recently, the use of video laryngoscopy for insertion of the TEE probe has found to be helpful in decreasing the incidence of trauma. Though video laryngoscope is a useful technique compared to blind insertion, the incidence of hemodynamic perturbations may be similar to jaw thrust manoeuvre, and conventional laryngoscope assisted insertion. 
Flexible videoendoscope has emerged as an important component of difficult airway equipment. No previous studies have used flexible videoendoscope assisted insertion of the TEE probe. It may be possible that use of a flexible videoendoscope for assisting TEE probe insertion may provide better performance characteristics as compared to a video laryngoscope in terms of a wider field of view, allowing both hands of the operator for oral manipulation and TEE probe insertion along with less hemodynamic perturbations; but with a similar first pass success rate.
