| Research Abstract |
Perfusionists must be well trained in standard and emergency procedures because incidents during extracorporeal circulation sometimes result in a fatality. We developed a simulator for use in perfusion education that helps perfusionists gains expert skills, thereby improving their performance. In conjunction with a controlled patient simulator, the perfusionist student can learn to maintain to vital parameters of a patient. This study suggests that a well-designed training for a patient simulator allows clinical engineering students to acquire optimal skills, enabling them to address any problems that might occur during extracorporeal circulation. Therefore, next stage is necessary to establish a scoring system that systematically relates performance in simulated scenarios to clinical competency. In this system, use of these 3 training scenarios within a perfusion education system also has the advantage of providing an index of trainees current proficiency and improvement.
