PE 7042 - Pediatric Extracorporeal Perfusion2 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 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. A high-fidelity simulator will be used to simulate pediatric CPB cases. (prereq: PE 7022 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Understand fetal, neonatal, and pediatric anatomy/physiology
- Gain knowledge and understanding of the various congenital heart defects, the sequelae associated with them, and the procedures utilized to treat them
- Understand the preoperative course of the pediatric patient
- Gain knowledge of the anesthetic strategies employed during surgery
- Understand the various considerations concerning cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits, and management during bypass including myocardial protection
- Gain knowledge of the techniques of hypothermia and circulatory arrest
- Gain knowledge of the neurological effects of CPB, and an understanding of the particular neuro-protective strategies that are used in the pediatric setting
- Understand the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the pediatric setting
- Gain knowledge of the various circulatory assist devices used in pediatrics
