PER 6210 - Clinical Extracorporeal Perfusion I3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 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, priming solutions, hemodilution, blood conservation, principles of gas transfer, and initiation, conduct, and termination of cardiopulmonary bypass. (prereq: enrollment in the MSP program)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe the clinical instruction process of the MSP program
- Articulate student expectations of the MSP program
- Explain the scope of practice of a perfusionist
- Explain the history and developmental milestones of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Identify and employ aseptic techniques in the operating room
- Describe how the typical cardiovascular surgical patient presents
- Explain the standard monitoring of surgical cardiac patients
- Identify the components of various priming solutions and explain the situations in which common priming solutions are used
- Explain the benefits and disadvantages of hemodilution during CPB
- Describe the conduct of perfusion, from initiation through termination of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Identify and use the equipment necessary to perform cardiopulmonary bypass
- Describe the physiological theory of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Demonstrate literature review skills
