Introduction: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a well-established method of evaluatingcardiac pathology. It has many advantages over transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), including theability to image the heart during active cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This prospective simulation studyaims to evaluate the ability of emergency medicine (EM) residents to learn TEE image acquisitiontechniques and demonstrate those techniques to identify common pathologic causes of cardiac arrest.
