Activity Description

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a critical technology in cardiac surgery, allowing for the temporary replacement of the heart and lung functions during intricate surgical procedures. The CPB circuit, or heart-lung machine, diverts venous blood from the patient, oxygenates and filters it, and then returns it to the arterial system, ensuring continuous perfusion of vital organs while the heart is stopped. This process involves various components, including venous and arterial cannulas, oxygenators, heat exchangers, and pumps, and requires meticulous coordination and precise control to maintain patient stability and prevent complications.

By participating in this course, clinicians enhance their competence in managing CPB procedures by comprehensively understanding its mechanics and components. They gain skills in operating and troubleshooting CPB equipment, optimizing patient safety, and improving outcomes through effective interprofessional communication and coordination. The course also covers preoperative planning, intraoperative management, and postoperative care strategies, enabling clinicians to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care in cardiac surgery settings.
