17. Rescue TEE: Cardiac Arrest and Clinical Tips - Part 3 of 3

In Episode 17 of TEE Time, we explore the transformative role of Rescue Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) in cardiac arrest. As the final part of our three-part series, this episode covers clinical applications, outcomes, logistics, and limitations of Rescue TEE. We highlight the advantages of TEE over TTE, arrhythmia delineation, CPR optimization, and detection of ROSC. Practical tips, workflow integration, hospital implementation, training and credentialing needs, and non-cardiac OR uses are discussed. Future directions include AI-assisted interpretation, pre-hospital use, and certification pathways.   Receive your free TEE Time Rescue TEE protocol document: 1) Leave a Review (Apple/Spotify) or Like (Youtube). 2) Comment with an included Email, 3) We will send you the Protocol!   00:00 Introduction to Rescue TEE in Cardiac Arrest Management 01:26 Recap of Previous Episodes and Protocol Overview 02:49 Cardiac Arrest Management with Rescue TEE 03:45 Advantages and Limitations of TEE 09:07 Clinical Tips for Using Rescue TEE 11:07 Influence of Rescue TEE on Clinical Care 13:01 Training and Credentialing for Rescue TEE 14:40 Implementation Tips for Rescue TEE in Hospitals 17:59 Limitations and Future Directions of Rescue TEE 19:53 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview   #TEE #Echocardiography #Anesthesia #Cardiology #CriticalCare #EmergencyMedicine #Sonographer #CardiacSurgery #FOAMed #POCUS #Ultrasound #Anesthesiology #Perioperative #CardiacAnesthesia #AnesthesiaPodcast #Anesthesiology #Echo #Surgery #AdvancedTEE #PerioperativeTEE #TTE #Sonography #TEETime #TransesophagealEchocardiography #BasicPTE #AdvancedPTE #PTEeXAM #ICU   DISCLAIMER: This podcast provides recommendations intended for educational purposes only and should not be used as the sole basis for making medical decisions.
