PE 7001 - Special Situations in Perfusion Practice2 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 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. A high-fidelity simulator will be used to simulate various topics of this course. Topics and possible simulated scenarios taught in this course 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, and perfusion equipment and components review. (prereq: MSP program enrollment)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Anticipate, identify, and safely handle catastrophic events that may occur in the perioperative period.
- 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.
- Apply the various techniques associated with on-pump minimally invasive procedures such as robotic-assisted and port access
- Employ the techniques and considerations associated with left and right-heart bypass procedures
- Explain the circuits, techniques, and considerations associated with cardiopulmonary support in the urgent setting
- Safely utilize vacuum and kinetic-assisted venous drainage during CPB
- Employ interventions to minimize air introduction into the CPB circuit
- Explain the negative effects of air emboli in patients
- Describe the role of perfusionists in emergency preparedness
- Understand the specifications and operating parameters of various pieces of perfusion equipment and components
