Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Perfusion Technology

Overview

Perfusion Technology are health professionals who are trained to operate, maintain, and record the output of a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine which is also known as a heart-lung machine. Perfusionists also participate in heart surgeries as well as cardiac transplants, cardiovascular surgeries, and specialized chemotherapy procedures. They are also experts of other life support equipment such as ventricular assist devices, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pumps. The personnel who carry out these responsibilities also must have adequate knowledge of structure and function of the human body, especially the cardiovascular system. The graduate program in cardiovascular perfusion technology consists of three years of supervised theoretic learning and one-year internship programme. Upon completion of the program the candidates will evolve into a fully trained, qualified cardiovascular perfusion technologist capable of working independently.
