Perfusion is the passage of fluid through organs and tissues via the bloodstream. During cardiac surgeries, perfusion must be conducted by a heart-lung machine, which continues the blood-pumping function so surgeons can operate on the heart.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides temporary support for patients with cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. An ECMO machine provides life support to patients whose heart and lungs can’t provide enough gas exchange or perfusion.
Cardiac autotransfusion (ATS) is designed to boost a hospital’s blood management program by recycling the patient’s own blood.
Anesthesia technology is a distinct health profession that focuses on the necessary clinical procedures that assist the anesthesia provider in the safe and efficient care of patients.
Critical Care Technicians are experts in autotransfusion, and they assist with complex procedures like line placement, IABP, and nerve blocks. They work with anesthesia partners and other physicians, obtaining the equipment and products needed to assist MD’s and partners during procedures.
A perfusion assistant works in all aspects of procedures in both cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries. They assist with preparing equipment used by perfusionists to ensure a smooth and efficient workflow within the surgery room.
As the largest ECMO provider nationwide, SpecialtyCare is excited to launch an online ECMO training platform. Designed by a team of ECMO industry experts with over 100 years combined experience, you will be able to work at your own pace in a kinesthetic learning experience.
SpecialtyCare offers training and education that aligns to your institution’s ECMO program goals. We believe in a strategic approach for our clients ECMO Training and Education and therefore offer three training tracks to custom fit your team’s needs.
