Transesophageal echocardiography during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is associated with alternate areas of compression: Analysis of healthcare provider experiences with potential implications for conventional compressions
Use of TEE-CPR often leads to adjustments in chest compression location, predominantly in a leftward and/or caudal direction. Performing TEE-CPR compressions was reported to have minimal impact on provider exertion as compared to conventional CPR. Prospective research mapping the locations and frequencies of alternate AOCs during TEE-CPR, and associated clinical outcomes, are warranted.
