Abstract:
Heart and lung transplantation remains a complex procedure that requires multidisciplinary expertise. While the roles of surgeons and anesthesiologists are well known, there is another profession that is little known, even among healthcare professionals, but which is essential in cardiac surgery: perfusionists. They manage the various extracorporeal circulations in the operating room and intensive care unit, but also participate in the collection, transport, evaluation, and rehabilitation of heart and lung grafts.
