AI Article Synopsis
- Cardiac arrest (CA) is a critical condition, and survivors often experience post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS), making echocardiograms essential for evaluating their condition.
- The study reviews existing literature to highlight the significance of transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms during and after cardiac arrest.
- The conclusion emphasizes that these echocardiogram techniques play crucial roles in diagnosing and predicting outcomes for patients during the CA phase and beyond.
Article Abstract
Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) is a life-critical condition. Patients who survive after CA go into a defined post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). In this clinical context, the role of the echocardiogram in recent years has become increasingly important to assess the causes of arrest, the prognosis, and any direct and indirect complications dependent on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneu-vers.
Methods: We have conduct a narrative revision of literature.
Results: The aim of our review is to evaluate the increasingly important role of the transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram in the CA phase and especially post-arrest, analyzing the data already present in the literature.
Conclusion: Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram in the CA phase take on important diagnostic and prognostic role.
