Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is rapidly transforming the landscape of resuscitation, offering unparalleled insights into cardiovascular physiology when it matters most. This exclusive webinar series, produced by The Resuscitative TEE Project and presented by Philips, brings together leading experts to explore the evidence, implementation, integration, and clinical impact of Resuscitative TEE across diverse acute care environments, including the emergency department, the intensive care unit, operating room, and any clinical settings caring for critically ill patients.

The Resuscitative TEE Project is a multidisciplinary initiative dedicated to advancing the science, promoting excellence, and expanding access to high-impact education in the use of TEE for resuscitation and critical care. Through this series, we aim to disseminate the latest knowledge, share real-world experiences, and provide actionable strategies for clinicians and institutions adopting TEE as a vital tool for resuscitation.

Join us as we highlight practical frameworks, lessons learned, and innovations that are shaping the future of hemodynamic monitoring and individualized resuscitation through TEE, at the point of care.

Upcoming webinars

Focused transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is emerging as a transformative tool in emergency medicine, offering unmatched views of cardiac anatomy and real-time physiologic assessment during critical decision-making moments. This webinar will explore the growing role of focused TEE in emergency departments across diverse practice settings, from academic centers to community hospitals. Faculty will discuss evolving indications, clinical integration pathways, and the unique diagnostic and therapeutic advantages of TEE in time-sensitive scenarios such as cardiac arrest, shock, and undifferentiated hypotension. Early implementation experiences, training models, and future directions for research and practice will also be highlighted.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the current and emerging clinical indications for focused TEE in emergency medicine.

2. Identify key advantages of TEE compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in critically ill or arresting patients.

3. Discuss practical strategies for implementing focused TEE programs in the emergency department.

4. Review case-based examples illustrating the impact of TEE on diagnosis and resuscitation decisions.

5. Understand the current evidence base and identify key knowledge gaps for future research in emergency-focused TEE.

While transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has long been established in cardiac surgery, its expanding role in non-cardiac anesthesiology is redefining intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring and resuscitation. This webinar will explore the evolving use of focused TEE in non-cardiac surgical settings, including both elective perioperative monitoring and resuscitative “rescue TEE” in the setting of acute intraoperative instability. Drawing from both historical context and current practice, faculty will highlight practical indications, safety considerations, key imaging protocols, and the overlap between TEE used in anesthesiology and critical care. Applications in high-risk procedures such as liver and lung transplantation, major vascular interventions, and trauma surgery will be discussed, along with guidance strategies for temporary mechanical circulatory support.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Outline the historical evolution and expanding role of focused TEE in non-cardiac anesthesiology.

2. Identify clinical indications for both elective and resuscitative TEE during non-cardiac surgery.

3. Describe commonly used TEE views and protocols applicable to intraoperative assessment.

4. Differentiate key diagnostic objectives between perioperative monitoring and rescue TEE.

5. Discuss safety considerations, contraindications, and credentialing pathways for anesthesiologists incorporating TEE into their practice.

6. Review illustrative cases highlighting TEE utility in major non-cardiac surgeries, including transplantation, vascular surgery, and trauma care.

As point-of-care ultrasound becomes a core component of critical care, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is emerging as a powerful tool for advanced hemodynamic assessment, procedural guidance, and resuscitation in the ICU. This webinar will explore the expanding role of resuscitative TEE in critical care environments, from cardiac arrest to undifferentiated shock, trauma, prone ventilation, and procedural applications including ECMO cannulation, placement of Impella pumps, and intra-aortic balloon pump. We will review key diagnostic advantages of TEE over transthoracic imaging, evolving safety data, training models for ICU teams, and practical strategies for program implementation. This session will also address terminology, protocols, and the role of TEE in hemodynamic monitoring, emphasizing how this modality is reshaping bedside decision-making in the critically ill.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the indications and clinical utility of focused TEE in critical care settings.

2. Explain the advantages of TEE over transthoracic imaging in critically ill or mechanically ventilated patients.

3. Identify diagnostic and monitoring applications of TEE in patients with shock, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest.

4. Discuss the use of TEE to guide procedures, including ECMO cannulation, placement of Impella pumps, and intra-aortic balloon pump.

5. Understand the safety profile of TEE in the ICU and strategies to mitigate risks.

6. Review current recommendations for training, credentialing, and program development for critical care teams adopting TEE.

The frontiers of prehospital care are rapidly evolving, and resuscitative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is emerging as a novel tool with the potential to transform the management of cardiac arrest and shock in the field. This webinar will highlight pioneering efforts to implement TEE in prehospital and retrieval medicine settings, including the development of mobile TEE capabilities, the integration of TEE into high-performance out-of-hospital cardiac arrest systems, and novel research protocols aimed at individualized CPR and early identification of reversible pathology. Presenters will share early implementation experiences, technical and operational considerations, and the future landscape of out-of-hospital TEE research and clinical applications.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the emerging role of resuscitative TEE in prehospital and retrieval medicine settings.

2. Identify the unique challenges and opportunities of performing TEE in the field.

3. Review operational workflows and protocols for integrating prehospital TEE.

4. Discuss examples of TEE use during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in mobile critical care units.

5. Understand the current state of prehospital TEE research and key questions guiding future studies.
