Tiny ECLS Letter #3

Tiny ECLS Letter

For those subscribers that also subscribe to the TPL, you know that we sometimes throw a survey at you. Well, here is one of those. It is the CUTEC-study and this is a small message from the researchers: “This research focuses on assessing the current trends in the use of cannulas during cardiac surgeries and ECLS. The study collects expert opinions through a survey. The aim is to gain insights into current practices, protocols, difficulties, and innovations related to cannula usage in the context of cardiac surgery and ECLS.”

You can find the link to the survey here.

Thank you from Ghent, Belgium!! Also a big thank you for those who already filled it out!
