OUTLINE

3. WHAT IS A PERFUSIONIST ?
PERFUSIONISTS
 Operate the heart lung machine,
 Monitoring and controlling oxygen
levels, blood pressure, body
temperature and blood flow.
 They also administer anesthetics and
other drugs during surgery.
(Prof. Michael Smith
Quinnipiac University School of Health Sciences)

4. Perfusion data is one of the major standards
recommendations of monitoring during
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
(Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists
of Great Britain & Ireland, 2007)
This includes monitoring for the onset of and
weaning from CPB,
confirmation of anticoagulation
and ventilation of the lungs.
(Association of Cardiothoracic Anesthetics & Society for Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Great Britain &
Ireland, 2007)
INTRODUCTION

5. Perfusion data can defined as:
The perfusion record (written or electronic) for
each (CPB) procedure
which shall be included as part of patient’s
permanent medical record.
(American Society of ExtraCorporeal Technology, 2013)
…..is a legal presentation of the procedure,
whether manually recorded or computerized
which should be maintained & stored
in patient's notes, according to institution policy
for retaining medical records.
(Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists
of Great Britain & Ireland, 2007)
WHAT IS CLINICAL PERFUSION DATA (CPD)?

6. DEVELOPMENT IN OUR SETTING:
HANDWRITTEN CLINICAL PERFUSION DATA
DISADVANTAG
ES
Difficult in
storage –
filing system
Bad Hand
writing
Searching gets
difficult as the
filing gets more.
1996
till
1998

7. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT :
COMPUTERISED CLINICAL PERFUSION DATA ( EXCEL)

8. COMPUTERISED CLINICAL PERFUSION DATA
( EXCEL) … CONTINUE
DISADVANTAGES
Big files required
more Hard-disk
space
Takes a long time
for searching data
Not able to keep
data in sequent
format
Difficult to track such as:
- number of pump run by
perfusionist
- number of case
in respective
groups
- difficult to compile Data
as each OT’s has got
individual PCs

9. OUR DEVELOPMENT: COMPUTERISED
CLINICAL PERFUSION DATA (DATABASE)
Database records are
divided into fields,
which makes searching
the databases easier.
What goes into each
field varies depending
on the type of literature
we’re documenting.
ADVANTAGES
- Easier to key in data
- Searching made
simpler and faster
- Well organized data
no matter how long the
files are.

(documented at a frequency determined by institutional protocol).
4. Blood gas & anticoagulation monitoring results.
5. Signature of the perfusionist (include relief).
(American Society of ExtraCorporeal Technology, 2013)

It is the responsibility of the clinical perfusionist to assist the
Surgeon/physician in any way possible in patient care
& particularly within the defined areas of expertise
of the clinical perfusionist ….
(The American Academy of Cardiovascular Perfusion, 2008)
