title: Transesophageal echocardiography during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
abstract: Transesophageal echocardiography is ideally suited for imaging during CPR because high-quality images can be obtained immediately and continuously without interruption of cardiac compression and ventilation. Use of TEE during CPR is increasing to help monitor resuscitative efforts, for diagnosis, to assist in understanding the physiology of blood flow, and for evaluation of new methods of CPR.
