Hello Aspirant,

Well yes, cardiac care technology is a good course but cardiac perfusion technology is better. See in cardiac care you have to work under doctors and are not entitled to make your own decisions whereas in being a perfusionist, u are in control, u can do what u thnk u want to. For example you can decide which drugs you want to administer, how much volume you want to prime, what kind of cardioplegia you want to prepare, what strategies you can take up to improve the post operative results etc. During a cardiac surgery the surgeon, the perfusionist and the anesthetist are the three main pillars, they have to coordinate as a team to work together.

This may help.

Happy learning!
