Joe Basha’s PerfWeb #98—Day 1— EMR Design & Oxyhemoglobin’s Impact on NIRS for Perfusionists — Perfusion

PerfWeb 98 presents an educational milestone for perfusionists across the United States and Canada, offering an unparalleled opportunity to earn continuing education units (CEUs) while enhancing professional knowledge and skills. Scheduled for Monday, March 18, 2024, this event promises to be a pivotal gathering for professionals seeking to stay at the forefront of perfusion technology and medical advancements. PerfWeb 98—Day 1 is meticulously organized into two sessions, each focusing on critical areas of perfusion science and practice, accredited with 2.4 Category 1 CEUs by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (ABCP). This seminar is designed not just as a means to fulfill continuing education requirements but as a platform to foster discussions, encourage the exchange of ideas, and enhance the professional competency of perfusionists. The sessions are tailored to both seasoned professionals and those new to the field, providing insights into technological advancements and clinical applications. Session Details 1700-1800: Design of an EMR Perfusion Platform Faculty: T. DiSalvo, CCP The first session, led by the distinguished T. DiSalvo, CCP, focuses on the critical topic of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the realm of perfusion. This session aims to delve into the intricacies of designing a perfusion-specific EMR platform, addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by perfusionists in documenting and managing patient data. Participants will gain insights into the latest trends in EMR technology, best practices for EMR system design, and strategies for integrating these systems into their daily practice to improve patient care and operational efficiency. 1800-1900: How the Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve Affects NIRS Faculty: T. DiSalvo, CCP Continuing the educational journey, T. DiSalvo, CCP, will lead the second session, exploring the significant impact of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements. This presentation aims to unravel the physiological and clinical implications of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, providing perfusionists with a deeper understanding of how NIRS can be used to monitor and optimize patient oxygenation during cardiovascular surgeries. Attendees will engage in a comprehensive discussion on interpreting NIRS data, integrating physiological principles into clinical practice, and enhancing patient outcomes through informed decision-making.
