Tiny Perfusion Letter #11

Tiny Perfusion Letter

After the last Perflist posting, the response has been overwhelming. A big THANK YOU for that.

We see a lot of perfusionists subscribing, and that is great. Share this with the rest of your team (surgeons, anesthesiologists,...) . It might change one's point of view.

We continue the formula: we have ten, you get them in your mailbox.

Enjoy.
