COURSE: B.Sc. Cardio Pulmonary Perfusion Care Technology
DURATION OF THE COURSE: 4 YEARS (INCLUDING ONE YEAR INTERNSHIP)
TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS ADMITTED PER YEAR – 20 (TWENTY)
Program Overview
The B.Sc. in Cardio Pulmonary Perfusion Care Technology equips students to become perfusionists, specialized healthcare professionals who support cardio-thoracic surgeons during procedures that require the heart to be temporarily stopped. During these surgeries, it is crucial to replace the patient’s heart and lung functions, and perfusionists play a vital role in this process. Perfusionists operate heart-lung machines—devices that circulate and oxygenate blood while the surgeon performs the operation. Generally, perfusionists spend around 90% of their time in the operating room, though their responsibilities may also extend to cardiovascular intensive care units and catheterization laboratories.
Career Prospects
The demand for skilled perfusionists is increasing in India, particularly as the number of coronary artery bypass surgeries rises. There is a significant need for perfusionists within cardio-thoracic departments, where they apply their knowledge and clinical skills effectively. While the role can be demanding, a career as a perfusionist is ultimately rewarding, making a significant impact on patient care in the medical landscape.
