This course covers an overview of Perfusion and pumping engineering Technology. Perfusionists are trained medical practitioners who specialize in delivering life-saving assistance for blood pumping during surgery on vital organs such as the heart, liver and lungs. During such surgery, patients need extracorporeal circulation (ECC) to sustain the defective organ. Perfusion Technology is used during open-heart surgery, cardiac failure, renal failure, and other life-threatening conditions.
