PE 7102 - Clinical Perfusion Practicum II0 lecture hours 9 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course begins as a continuation of Level 2 - Adult (Basic Clinical Perfusion). It is intended that during this quarter the student will successfully pass Clinical Competency Exam II. Once Level 2 is satisfactorily completed, the student will move on to Level 3 - Adult (Intermediate Clinical Perfusion). During clinical cases, the student will be under the direct supervision of physicians and certified clinical perfusionists. (prereq: PE 7101 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Exhibit mastery of circuit set-ups, priming, and preparation for bypass
- Exhibit familiarity during surgery with the specific details of patient monitoring, cannulation, and blood gas/anticoagulation monitoring
- Perform additional basic perfusion tasks as allowed by the instructor
- Postoperatively monitor the patient status, participate in blood salvage procedures, disassemble/dispose of the used circuit, disinfect the pump console, and set up the circuit for the next procedure
- Prepare the CPB circuit based upon the surgical and CPB plan
- Assume the responsibilities as the “primary perfusionist”–initiate CPB, operate ancillary pump components, manage the patient’s hemodynamics, volume status, blood gases, anticoagulation, and temperature, all while maintaining circuit and procedural awareness
- Wean the patient from bypass and monitor them and the pump until the end of the procedure
