World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
We developed a system to capture and study detailed information during cardiac surgery that serves as a framework for understanding variation that occurs during CPB.

This article summarizes the length of training required to become a perfusionist in the United States and the types of perfusion education programs available.
There is potential for heat loss and hypothermia during anesthesia and also for hyperthermia if heat conservation and active warming measures are not accurately titrated.
