Tiny Perfusion Letter #819

Tiny Perfusion Letter

After two consecutive TPLs with 50 titles, we’re going to take a tiny breather and do a “normal” TPL (not that there is anything normal about it)

If you really crave more info to optimize the care for your patients, we recommend the podcasts from CTSNet. There is The Cardiac Recovery Room, The Beat, The Atrium and The Lifeline. Enough for everyone! CTSNet has a renewed website and we recommend you to become a (free) member!

If you have never heard of CTSNet, we recommend spanking with a shore A 85 durometer 1/2#x3/32” tubing… A dual-stage venous cannula would also work…

Just kidding…
