The above information is incorrect. The description is of a cardiovascular perfusion technologist who assist cardiopulmonary perfusionists. In North America, all perfusionists work under medical directive that allows them to administer blood products, medications, and make medical decisions using best clinical judgement.

To answer the person on the talk page about role of the perfusionist been  solely responsible for the patient while on bypass was written by  perfusionist that think he is a physician.

I am , in most of the countries for example ,China ,Egypt, South America, some European they are physician you can check . In the US they make a judgement call, any mistake, they can be sued and taking to court. also in the early days perfusionist in the US use to be a physician and some PhD , but supply and demand of the late 70 s early 80 s create OJT positions under the supervision of a phyician. like today ,shortage of phyicians creating PA and NP and with time they will be sloley responsiable for patient . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.130.6.70 (talk) 13:07, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
