Brief Summary

This study aims to establish a novel transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) simulation curriculum based on previous research results and suggestions from the American College of Emergency Physicians. To better evaluate the efficacy of the curriculum, an evaluation model utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) would be introduced. The study population is at least 60 junior physicians in the emergency department or other departments interested in TEE. After the curriculum, junior physicians could utilize TEE on cardiac arrest patients and improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

Conditions
