Tiny ECLS Letter #30

Tiny ECLS Letter

The TEL is far from complete. It would create an unbearable mountain of articles if we tried to. A quick search on Pubmed revealed 2677 articles on ‘extracorporeal membrane oxygenation’ in 2024. That is enough to fill 133 TELs, or 2.5 every week…

Let’s not do that 😑

So, sometimes, we believe an article is important enough (it will make you think about the treatment of your patients) that we are willing to put it out there, even if it was published almost one year and a half ago

We just didn’t want you to think that we were being outdated

Also in our defense, the TEL didn’t exist yet at the time this particular article was published. But we think it is important, so that’s why we mention it anyway
