This topic is near and dear to many of our members, and so it should come as no surprise that this has generated a tremendous amount of interest. As a result, both this and the next quarterly edition will feature a deep dive in the utilization of MCS across the critical care spectrum. The Society is honored to have such an active and knowledgeable membership share their expertise.
