What is a Perfusionist?

The medical professionals involved in bloodless surgery programs are many and come from various backgrounds in medical science.  Everyone knows that the teams consist of highly skilled surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists.  But who are the less visible, ancillary members of the team whose expertise is in the operation and function of the high tech machinery in the OR? They are none other than perfusionists. These skilled individuals are essential personnel in surgery and especially in bloodless surgery.   Let's take a look at who they are and what they do.

What is a Perfusionist?

A perfusionist is a health care professional who specializes in the operation of of the heart-lung machines in cardio-thoracic surgery. The heart-lung machine keeps the patient alive by pumping oxygenated blood throughout the operation.  The perfusionist also closely monitors the patient's circulatory status and advises the team of any changes. This involves monitoring the oxygen and carbon dioxide for critical changes.

They are also involved in the insertion and operation of (VAD) ventricular assist devices or artificial hearts.  The job of the VAD is to pump blood for the weakened left ventricle, the main pumping chamber which pumps blood to the rest of the body.

The perfusionists may also be involved in other types of surgery as well.

  2. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2348164728160 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

  4. I give thanks to Dr onokun for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 18 years but none of them have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day its not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You cant really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor onokun from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained every thing to him. then he sent me his product which I used for 2 weeks. Now am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure to Fibroid. contact him on dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2349064844957 he can help on any health issues
