What is a PERFUSIONIST? Perfusionists are members of the open-heart surgery team who are mainly responsible for the operation of the heart-lung machine.

Perfusionists must handle very stressful situations, pay great attention to detail, be very responsible, and willing to stay on top of new developments in the profession
