cardiopulmonary bypass for EDAIC

The ‘Cardiopulmonary bypass module' (part of the Applied or Clinical CVS manual) is designed to help the candidates understand this complex topic focusing on:

• • The basic CPB circuitry.
  • Myocardial injury and preservation during CPB.
  • Conduct and complications of CPB.
  • The perioperative considerations surrounding the management of a patient undergoing CPB.

The study material primarily concentrates on the most pertinent content for preparing post-graduate anaesthesia examinations, particularly the EDAIC/ FRCA/ FCAI exams.
