The Use of Point-of-Care Transesophageal Echocardiography in the Diagnosis of Undifferentiated Cardiac Arrest in a Pregnant Patient

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of point-of-care transesophageal echocardiography in diagnosing cardiac arrest during pregnancy.
• Utilized point-of-care transesophageal echocardiography to assess cardiac function in pregnant patients presenting with undifferentiated cardiac arrest.
• Examined hemodynamic status and potential etiologies of cardiac arrest in real-time.
• Immediate visualization of cardiac activity facilitated timely diagnoses, influencing resuscitation decisions.
• Significant improvements in maternal and fetal outcomes were observed when echocardiography was utilized during resuscitation.
