How much do perfusionist assistant jobs pay per hour?
What Does a Perfusionist Assistant Do?
A perfusionist assistant works alongside a clinical perfusionist during cardiac surgery to ensure the procedure goes smoothly and allow the perfusionist to focus on the patient. In this career, you perform the setup of equipment, assist the perfusionist by handling supplies, monitor the patient, and perform cleanup and waste disposal at the end. Your responsibilities focus on the health of the patient's heart and lungs during the surgery. Your duties also include sterilizing the machine and equipment, ordering supplies, loading the cart with essential gear before the procedure, checking vitals, maintaining medical records, and helping the perfusionist in any way necessary.

What is the difference between Perfusionist Assistant vs Perfusionist?
| Aspect | Perfusionist Assistant | Perfusionist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a certificate or associate degree, some states may require certification | Requires a bachelor's degree, advanced certification (e.g., CCRP), and licensure in many states |

Perfusionist Assistants support perfusionists during surgeries, often with less formal education, while Perfusionists independently manage complex procedures and require advanced certifications and licensure.
