#echofirst is using TTE and TEE for tricuspid valve. Usually prefer TTE for morphological analysis of TV. Same for quantification of severity do use TTE and not TEE. TTE 3D has improved so much that we are doing less TEE for dx. @iamritu @mirvatalasnag @AHagendorff @KemalogluOz

TEE #echofirst in CPR useful for so many reasons. Shows cause of arrest, shows effectiveness of CPR (here mechanical compression not effective, so reconsider reposition or go by manual compression). Guiding in ECMO implant. And showing how fast SEC is forming

2/3 TEE very helpful to demonstrate effectiveness of chest compression, in this case the mechanical CPR could not be positioned perfectly, so here decision to go manual. In our experience normally mechanical CPR works just fine
