Summary
I am a perfusion assistant who's most important priority is positive patient outcome. I have extensive experience supporting anesthesiologists and perfusionists in high-pressure surgical environments, and I am skilled in operating autotransfusion machines, setting up and monitoring intra-aortic balloon pumps, and performing ACT and blood gas testing. My experiences have taught me to strive for effective teamwork, communicate efficiently, and ensure patient safety during critical procedures. I maintain a strong focus on precision, problem-solving, and continuous learning in cardiovascular care. I am well-prepared to excel in perfusion school, bringing hands-on experience and a deep commitment to advancing patient outcomes.
