Perfusion department management: How to best utilize resources. Faculty: J. Hoffman, MD, Matt Warhoover, CCP, A. Lepore, CCP.

Joe will lecture and discuss what we have learned about the healthcare delivery industry through the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to offer provocative opinions, based on real-world data, on what we did right and what could have been done better. Joe will share his own experience managing COVID 19 patients and the impact this crisis has had private practice contract perfusion service delivery companies. Joe Basha, CCP is your host.

Recombinant Activated Human Factor VII. John Ingram, CCP is your host.

Early experience of pump-controlled retrograde trial off for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) in adult patients with cardiogenic shock. Pump-controlled retrograde trial off has recently been introduced as an effective method for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric patients. However, studies on pump-controlled retrograde trial off in adults are still lacking. Thus, this study aimed to examine the outcomes of pump-controlled retrograde trial off for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients.

Update on ECMO for COVID-19: What have we learned? Hosted by Matt Warhoover, CCP.

This program looks into the adequacy of perfusion. Ramsha Azmat, CCP is your host.

This program explores the factors that influence oxygen delivery to the tissues. This program examines the "art" of perfusion and how the perfusionist uses available data and techniques to provide sufficient perfusion and oxygenation to the patient while permitting the operative field to remain decompressed and dry so that the surgeon can complete the operation successfully. Joe Basha, CCP is your host.

Knowledge Nuggets segment explores elevated Ammonia levels and what this may mean in the ECMO patient. John Ingram, CCP is your host.

Our Journal Club explores alternative techniques to long-acting cardioplegia for myocardial protection during open cardiac surgery. Tammy Sparacino, CCP is your host.

The Vanderbilt Faculty team will discuss Single Ventricle physiology and how this affects perfusion technique during surgical correction. Matt Warhoover, CCP is your host.
