Brief Summary

This study shall investigate the feasibility of prehospital performed trans-esophageal echocardiography in out of hospital cardiac arrest. The investigators will include ten patients undergoing advanced life support in this study and determine if it is possible to acquire adequate trans-esophageal images within 10 minutes after arrival of the study team on scene.

Conditions

Echocardiography, Transesophageal; Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Time to obtain images of the heart

  Time from arrival of the study team on scene, until the following questions are answered by trans esophageal echocardiography: "is spontaneous cardiac movement present", "how ist LV function", "how is RV function", "is a pericardial effusion or tamponade present". The time will be measured in seconds and a maximum of 600 seconds is allowed. If answering the questions within 600 seconds is possible, the case will be counted as "feasible" and the duration of the time measured will be recorded. If answering the questions takes longer than 10 minutes, the case will be counted as "not feasible"

  10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Hands off times

  10 minutes

• Hindering of advanced life support measures

  10 minutes

• Trans esophageal echocardiography related complications

  10 minutes

• Image quality

  10 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• adult patients undergoing advanced life support for out of hospital cardiac arrest

You may not qualify if:

• patients who should undergo rapid transport to the hospital with ongoing CPR (ECMO candidates, pregnant, trauma, obvious reversible which can be treated in hospital only)
• known esophageal pathology contraindicating TEE
• no definite secure airway present (endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy)
