About the event
Join the VCSQI Quality Committee for an insightful two-part educational series on perfusion in the cardiac OR, exploring its fundamental principles and clinical applications.
In Part 1, we will cover basic perfusion concepts with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA)—a critical technique in complex cardiac surgery. Gain a foundational understanding of how perfusion works, where it is applied, why it is necessary, and when it is used to optimize patient outcomes.
Our distinguished presenter, Meetali Mahendrakar, MBBS, MS, Clinical Quality Abstractor at Mass General Brigham, Boston, MA, will provide expert insights into perfusion strategies, patient management considerations, and quality improvement initiatives.
This session is designed for cardiac surgeons, perfusionists, anesthesiologists, quality professionals, and anyone interested in advancing their knowledge of perfusion science.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from an expert and engage in a discussion on quality-driven approaches to cardiac surgery perfusion.
