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.
