PE 7011 - Clinical Extra-Corporeal Perfusion I

3 lecture hours 3 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is designed to provide a general introduction to the principles of extracorporeal technology, define the scope of practice for the perfusionist, and convey a general familiarity of the equipment, personnel, and practices within the cardiac operating room. Topics include history of perfusion and cardiac surgery, an introduction to the surgical patient, operating room, and aseptic techniques, an overview of surgical procedures, monitoring the cardiac patient, perfusion equipment and design, blood conservation, principles of gas transfer, and initiation, conduct, and termination of cardiopulmonary bypass. In addition to the didactic portion of this course, a laboratory session exists to provide the student with a practical understanding of many concepts taught in class, including monitoring devices, equipment design, and priming the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. (prereq: consent of the instructor)
