What is a Perfusionist?
Perfusionists, also called cardiac perfusionists, are allied health professionals who specialize in operating and recording the function of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, also known as a heart-lung machine. Although perfusionists aren’t physicians or nurses, they’re a vital part of the cardiovascular surgical team because they’re responsible for ensuring essential oxygen-rich blood reaches patients’ brains and other vital organs during open-heart surgeries. They also may monitor and manage patients receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in the ICU. Cardiac perfusion is a high-stress job but it’s one of the more lucrative allied health careers and perfusionists are in great demand due to their necessary involvement in most open-heart surgeries.
What certifications are commonly held by perfusionists?
Perfusionists may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), among others.
