Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology
|
|
|
Perfusionists apply their knowledge of the cardiopulmonary system and complex technology to the task of maintaining life during cardiac surgery. They prepare and operate the heart-lung machine and other equipment that replaces normal heart and lung functions during surgery.
In addition to becoming knowledgeable about this equipment, students in the Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology program learn to interpret patients’ medical histories and lab results, develop plans to conduct perfusion, implement the selection and interpretation of appropriate diagnostic tests, and learn to administer blood products and pharmacological agents. The perfusionist’s role during cardiovascular bypass for elective heart surgery is highlighted, as are responsibilities in other clinical areas, including neurosurgery, organ and limb preservation, blood salvage and recovery, and transplantation.
