Course details
Cardiovascular Perfusion Clinical 4 is a continuation of PERF 8300. The students are expected to improve upon the level of competency gained in previous clinical courses. In this clinical course, students will continue to review and apply the objectives introduced in previous rotations, as well as prepare and apply advanced Perfusion techniques and technologies. Review of CPB case studies will assist the students in understanding various clinical scenarios and conditions that have presented in the past and how they were managed.
