Brief summary
The general objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact and safety of focused, point-of-care transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) used during the evaluation of critically-ill patients in the emergency and intensive care settings. The target population for this study are critically-ill patients over the age of 18 who as part of their routine clinical care are receiving a focused TEE. The primary objective of this study is to determine the clinical impact and safety of TEE performed during the evaluation of critically-ill patients in the emergency department and intensive care settings. The secondary objective(s) of this study are to characterize the use of this imaging modality in the subsets of critically-ill patients in shock and cardiac arrest; including but not limited to; description of the frequency of studies, clinical indications, clinician characteristics, echocardiography findings, timing of studies, procedure-related complications and patient outcomes.
Detailed description
Vision The Resuscitative TEE Collaborative Registry aims to accelerate the development of outcome-oriented research and knowledge translation on the use of TEE in emergency and critical care settings. Mission The registry aims to catalyze clinical research involving the use of TEE in critically-ill patients through the following strategic initiatives: * Facilitate collaboration between different clinical teams and organizations across the entire spectrum of users of TEE in acute care setting, including emergency departments and intensive care units. * Standardize data collection and reporting that enables multi-institutional data sharing. * Provide an efficient research infrastructure that facilitates data capture, management and analysis, enabling teams around the world to conduct research studies in this field. * Make shared data open and accessible to clinicians and researchers.
