PER 6250 - Pediatric Extracorporeal Perfusion

2 lecture hours 0 lab hours 2 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. (prereq: PER 6230 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Diagram fetal, neonatal, and pediatric anatomy and relate it to the physiology at these developmental stages. 
  • Identify the physiological consequences associated with the various congenital heart defects 
  • Explain the basics of the procedures used to treat select congenital heart defects 
  • Explain the preoperative course of the pediatric patient 
  • Compare the anesthetic strategies employed during pediatric surgery 
  • Apply perfusion principles of circuits, myocardial protection, hypothermia and circulatory arrest to pediatric surgeries.  
  • Explain the potential neurological effects of CPB and neuro-protective strategies that are used in the pediatric setting 
  • Explain the uses of ECMO in the pediatric setting 
  • Contrast the various circulatory assist devices used in pediatrics
Prerequisites by Topic
  • Basics of adult cardiopulmonary perfusion
Course Topics
  • Stages of circulatory system development and the physiological changes that occur during these stages
  • Congenital heart defects
  • Practice of cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric patients
  • Practice of ancillary perfusion procedures, such as ECMO in pediatric patients
