PE 7041 - Pediatric Extra-Corporeal Perfusion2 lecture hours 0 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
This course is designed to present the Master of Science in Perfusion student with a foundation of knowledge with respect to the extracorporeal applications for neonatal and pediatric patients. Topics include the following: developmental, cardiac, and vascular embryology (changes at birth, fetal circulation), congenital heart defects, acid-base balance, preoperative evaluation, anesthetic strategies, membrane permeability, cardiopulmonary bypass considerations and circuits, myocardial protection, hypothermia, circulatory arrest, neurological effects of cardiopulmonary bypass, neuro-protective strategies, pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and circulatory assist devices. (prereq: PE 7021)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- An understanding of fetal, neonatal, and pediatric anatomy/physiology.
- A knowledge and understanding of the various congenital heart defects, the sequelae associated with them, and the procedures utilized to treat them.
- An understanding of the preoperative course of the pediatric patient.
- Knowledge of the anesthetic strategies employed during surgery.
- An understanding of the various considerations concerning cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits, and management during bypass including myocardial protection.
- Knowledge of the techniques of hypothermia and circulatory arrest.
- Knowledge of the neurological effects of CPB, and an understanding of the particular neuro-protective strategies that are used in the pediatric setting.
- An understanding of the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the pediatric setting.
- Knowledge of the various circulatory assist devices used in pediatrics.
