Perfusion Turkey: A Collage from Kosuyolu Hospital, Istanbul.
A Perfusion Conference, Turkey
Editor’s Note:
I was on FB and got a message from Mehmet Çetintaş, a Turkish perfusionist that I have seen online for quite awhile. He asked me to post some pictures he took of his life as a perfusionist in Istanbul Turkey.
By his count they perform (or have performed) :
- 142 ECMO
- 122 heart transplants
- 33 lung transplants
- 1 liver transplant
- 43 Levitronix employed
- 6 Novolong employed
- 21 lVADS
- 2 pediatric transplants (heart / lung?)
It is another example of how similar our lives are as perfusionists- regardless of culture or distance …
