Esophageal probe for transesophageal cardiac stimulation

摘要

An esophageal probe for transesophageal cardiac stimulation or monitoring. The probe comprises an elongate member adapted to be positioned within the esophagus of a patient and having a distal end and a proximal end. A second elongate member is slidably mounted on the first and engages at least one electrode carrier for selectively displacing an electrode laterally relative to the elongate member for positioning the electrode at the optimal position for cardiac stimulation and monitoring of the patient.
