Tiny ECLS Letter #35

Tiny ECLS Letter

We often hear the claim that perfusionists should never have let go of the ECMO duties, or that they should be more involved, or something in that realm…

Here’s your chance to have your voice heard. At least the European perfusionists.

Please fill out this survey, on behalf of EuroELSO, in collaboration with Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori (Monza, Italy) and Maastricht University (Maastricht, the Netherlands)

This survey aims to investigate the clinical and organisational practices regarding the role of perfusionists within the ECLS team

Thank you!
