Perfusionists are highly skilled professionals providing essential life support, enabling patients to undergo open heart surgery. Although this is the main function at the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital, Alder Hey, they also manage a Homograft bank. Also known as a heart valve bank, this is a completely independent branch of the perfusion department.
