Cardiopulmonary Bypass

"In the current healthcare environment, there is an increasing focus on providing high quality patient care at ever lower costs while patients rightly expect excellent outcomes. Cardiac surgery in particular is dependent on several disciplines working together closely and having a good appreciation of the challenges facing each one. High quality outcomes are dependent upon a wide array of factors, ranging from patient specific issues, to provider acumen and technical skills, to ancillary support systems and increasingly to organizational factors.
