  • Monitoring the operation of the heart/lung machine and the patient's physiological parameters during extracorporeal circulation, making necessary adjustments to ensure adequate perfusion.
  • Administering medications and/or blood products through the heart/lung machine in consultation with the attending surgeon or anesthesiologist.
  • Collecting patient specimens at appropriate intervals during the surgical procedure for laboratory analysis.
  • Disassembling the extracorporeal circuit post-procedure, disposing of single-use items appropriately, and cleaning the equipment.

Comply with safety protocols according to established guidelines, including lifting techniques, equipment handling, and universal precautions. Responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining a safe patient environment by reporting malfunctioning equipment and ensuring proper cleaning and sterilization of instruments.

Qualifications:
