Tiny Perfusion Letter #426

Tiny Perfusion Letter

Some people asked us if there were going to be any more TPL COVID-specials

We believe that there are enough resources for COVID-19, like the ELSO-page with ECMOCARD and the Euro-ELSO regularly updated survey, the Joint Perfusion Task Force, CDC, NEJM, JAMANetwork, CTSNET and also the many local health organizations and authorities

We will have some articles that we think are important, but they will be added to the regular TPL's, like in this one

Be safe!!
