clinical perfusionistA clinical perfusionist is the person who is in charge of the heart-lung machine during a heart operation while the surgeons are doing all the slicing and dicing. It is his or her job to make sure that the patient's blood keeps being pumped around their body and that they are getting enough oxygen.
You need to be able to work under a lot of pressure as part of a team. You would need to be able to concentrate for long periods of time, sometimes working in the middle of the night, so you need to be ready to jump into action at any time of day or night whenever your beeper tells you that your skills are needed at the hospital. Also you need to have a strong stomach - no fainting allowed when the surgeons start to cut open the patient!. You need to be prepared to study hard and go to university. When you start a job as a perfusionist, the training carries on as you will learn all the skills you need to keep someone alive when their heart isn't pumping. |
