Update in perfusion devices

Hands-on demonstrations will accompany the presentations. Attendees will also get the chance to operate the newest devices themselves: simulation stations will be available so that perfusionists to operate pumps and ancillary equipment in simulated OR environments.

Lunch will be provided on Friday and Saturday. Attendees will also have time to sight see or shop downtown after the conference on Saturday, or in between the afternoon and evening events.

On behalf of the faculty and staff at MUSC, we look forward to providing you a great virtual learning experience. Educational and interactive events are vital to the growth of our profession. Thank you for your support of the conference. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments. We would like to thank the following agencies for their support of the 23rd Annual Update on Perfusion Conference.

The calibration of the measured photoplethysmographic signals is performed empirically for each type of commercial pulse-oximeter sensor, utilizing in vitro measurement of SaO2 in extracted arterial blood by means of co-oximetry.

Due to the discrepancy between the measurement of SaO2 by pulse oximetry and the invasive technique, the former is denoted as SpO2. This level of accuracy is sufficient for the detection of a significant decline in respiratory function in patients, and pulse oximetry has been accepted as a reliable technique for that purpose.
