Topics to be discussed include artificial organs, isolated organ perfusion, and long-term cardiopulmonary support. Examines current journal articles and research data related to life-support technology. 3QH Focuses on the physiologic implications of perfusion techniques. A strong emphasis is placed on developing problem-solving techniques that can be applied in the clinical setting. Perfusion Laboratory 2QH Offers a laboratory experience for the application of cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.
Students are responsible for the initiation, conduct, and termination of cardiopulmonary support.
Opportunities will be provided for the evaluation of various oxygenators as well as exposure to catastrophic-event management.
