EXecution of Trans-Esophagus Echo Cardiogram in CardioPulmonary Resuscitation for Patients With Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating transesophageal echocardiography examination during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 132 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this single center, randomized clinical control trial is to determine that changing chest compression site during cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the examination of the TEE could increase the level of end-tidal CO2, which represents the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or not in adult patients with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest while comparing to those who don't receive examination of transesophageal echocardiography during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Interventions
Perform transesophageal echocardiography in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and adjust the chest compression site to compress the left ventricle and avoid left ventricular outflow tract.
