Techniques in Perfusion II.

Catalog description

Semester course; 1 lecture and 9 laboratory hours. 4 credits. Prerequisite: MSCP 611 . Enrollment is restricted to students in the Master of Science in Cardiovascular Perfusion program. The second course in a two-course series. The course builds on the foundational skills acquired in the first course in the series, advancing students' proficiency in perfusion techniques during complex and high-risk procedures. Emphasizing advanced hands-on learning in a high-fidelity human simulation center, students will refine their practical skills with cardiopulmonary bypass, extracorporeal life support, and cardiac support devices. The course prepares students for the clinical residency phase of perfusion training by focusing on realistic scenarios and complications that may arise during cardiovascular perfusion. Students will engage in critical thinking and problem-solving exercises, enhancing their ability to manage challenging clinical situations effectively.
