Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are junior emergency physicians who have a keen interest in learning transesophageal echocardiography.
✕Probably not a fit
Emergency physicians who are not interested in learning TEE will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to create a new simulation curriculum for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) based on prior research and guidelines from the American College of Emergency Physicians. It will incorporate an artificial intelligence evaluation model to assess the curriculum's effectiveness. The target participants are at least 60 junior physicians from emergency departments or other relevant fields who are interested in learning TEE. The goal is to enhance the ability of these physicians to use TEE in diagnosing and treating patients experiencing cardiac arrest, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the diagnostic skills of junior physicians, leading to better management of cardiac arrest patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of integrating AI into medical training is gaining traction, this specific curriculum for TEE is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.

Minimal Sedation After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
This study tests whether stopping continuous sedation right after return of circulation is as safe as keeping patients sedated in the early hours after OHCA.

Drone delivery of AEDs to bystanders for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This project will test whether drones can deliver AEDs quickly to bystanders helping someone who has a cardiac arrest outside a hospital.

Pre-hospital wearable cooling after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This pilot test tries a battery-free CarbonCool® cooling vest applied by paramedics to adults who regain a pulse after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest but remain unconscious to see if early cooling is feasible and safe.
-
Early double sequential defibrillation for cardiac arrest outside the hospital
We test whether using two defibrillators in quick succession after the first failed shock helps adults with out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest and a shockable rhythm survive more often than continuing standard single shocks.

Prehospital access to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Prague
This study is testing if a special emergency treatment called prehospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can help people who have a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital survive better and have better brain function compared to those who only get treatment in the hospital.
-
Initial double sequential defibrillation for out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation
This trial will test whether using two defibrillators to give double sequential shocks first improves survival for adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and a shockable rhythm.
