Exploring the Impact of Resuscitative TTE Courses and Challenges in Cardiac Arrest Management

Ultrasound in cardiac arrest is a favorite topic of the GEL Team and thus, we are back to crack open a radical new concept in the field. Does the left ventricular function actually matter in patients that are arresting?? Current practice for many is to assess for the binary presence or absence of cardiac activity, but these audacious authors suggest that a higher LV systolic function could be associated with a greater likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation!
