ClinConnect Summary

The Resuscitative TEE Collaborative Registry is a clinical trial aimed at understanding how a specific heart imaging test called transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can help critically-ill patients, particularly those experiencing cardiac arrest or shock. This study is focused on patients over the age of 18 who are in emergency or intensive care settings and receive this heart imaging as part of their regular medical care. The researchers want to find out how safe this procedure is and how it affects patient care and outcomes.

If you or a loved one is a critically-ill adult and might receive focused TEE during treatment, you may be eligible to participate in this study. Participants can expect to have their heart images taken while they are receiving care, and the researchers will track various details like how often the test is used, the reasons for its use, and any complications that may arise. It's important to note that children and certain vulnerable populations are not included in this trial, as the focus is solely on adult patients.
