An echocardiographic examination is feasible during CPR and may offer useful information in the management of the individual patients with cardiac arrest. It may depict the proximate cause of cardiac arrest, e.g., pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade, or hypovolemia, and signal the return of ventricular contractions in patients with initially absent mechanical activity. The appearance of intracardiac coalescent echo contrast in our patients with unrelenting cardiac arrest was associated with a failed outcome. The role of echocardiographic imaging in the setting of advanced cardiac life support requires further study.
