Publications from the PDU Winter Meeting

The PDU winter meeting has produced an abstract booklet for each meeting since 2005 and in an arrangement
with the editors AMSECT’s journal JECT, we have published selected papers, editorials and abstracts from the PDU meeting every year. These 80+ publications have been widely cited and have contributed to the international perfusion community’s understanding of clinical and scientific developments and advances in cardiopulmonary bypass and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

 

These publications cover the wide range of subject matter presented at PDU over the past decade and a half
including clinical practice, quality improvement and original research.
