Hi There,

A cardiac Perfusion technologists is a specialized team who works in sync with doctors during surgery.
They are the ones who operates artificial ventilation, pumping of the blood, respiration etc, vital to help the surgeon perform during the surgery.

After mentioning the role a Perfusion technologists play, I do not think I need to elaborate on its scope.
