PE 7000 - Extra-Corporeal Perfusion Laboratory2 lecture hours 0 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
This laboratory presents the Master of Science in Perfusion student an opportunity to apply concepts taught in lecture to practical applications. These concepts encompass adjunctive techniques and perfusion-related tasks that the student may be expected to perform out in the field, as well as, how to handle unexpected and/or emergent situations. Topics include the following: catastrophic event management, perfusion roles (off pump coronary artery bypass grafting, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting, transmyocardial laser revascularization, lead extractions, pump standbys, etc.), minimally invasive procedures (robotic-assisted, port access), right and left-heart bypass, cardiopulmonary support, vacuum and kinetic-assisted venous drainage, perfusion interventions (air introduction), emboli, emergency preparedness, and perfusion equipment and components review. (prereq: graduate standing and consent of the instructor)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- The ability to anticipate, identify, and safely handle catastrophic events that may occur in the perioperative period.
- Knowledge and understanding of how to prepare for procedures such as: off pump coronary artery bypass grafting, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting, transmyocardial laser revascularization, lead extractions, pump standbys, etc.
- Knowledge and understanding of the various techniques associated with on-pump minimally invasive procedures such as robotic-assisted and port access.
- Knowledge of the techniques and considerations associated with left and right-heart bypass procedures.
- A knowledge and understanding of the circuits, techniques, and considerations associated with cardiopulmonary support in the urgent setting.
- Knowledge of how to safely utilize vacuum and kinetic-assisted venous drainage during CPB.
- A greater understanding of how perfusion interventions are associated with air introduction into the CPB circuit and the techniques used to minimize and/or avoid the situation(s).
- A greater understanding of emboli (implications with regard to the patient and how to avoid introduction to the patient).
- Knowledge of how emergency preparedness applies to perfusion-related patient care.
- A greater understanding of the specifications and operating parameters of various pieces of perfusion equipment and components.
