Objectives
The main objective of this course is a solid preparation, based in theoretical knowledge, complementary to the ones acquired during the degree, in the specialization area.
It is intended for students to develop theoretical and theoretical-practical skills, which will be the foundation for their project or clinical specialization internship, this course being the continuity of those key moments of the degree.
Therefore, the main skills to develop are:
1. To acquire detailed theoretical knowledge in the field of Cardiovascular Perfusion;
2. To identify, in detail, the technical procedures used in Cardiovascular Perfusion;
3. To acquire knowledge that will allow them to conceptualize a project work or an internship report, in the area of Cardiovascular Perfusion.
Prerequisites
This is exclusive of UC respective area of expertise. Given the nature of the school and being that students are placed in different locations of clinical practice or business, these classes are taught individually to each student. The number of professors (tutors) depends on the number of vacancies for each area of expertise.

1. Artificial circulation and oxygenation and extracorporeal circulation circuits (ECC)
2. Material and equipment ECC
3. "Priming" and hemodilution
4. Anamnesis
5. Technical procedures associated with ECC
6. Physiology and Pathophysiology of ECC
7. Myocardial Protection
8. Ultrafiltration and dialysis

10. Cardiovascular pharmacology
11. Notions of Anesthesiology and Surgical Technique
12. Neurological Monitoring and neuroprotection
13. Mechanical devices for cardiopulmonary assistance
14. Other technologies with applications in ECC
15. Non-cardiovascular applications of ECC
16. Introduction to the theme and study design to develop the project work / internship report as part of Cardiovascular Perfusion.

Teaching method
The teaching methodology used is the Tutorial Guidance and Fieldwork. In this teaching methodology, students will be supervised by one teacher, with a PHD or Masters degree or Specialist, which will be responsible to guide them while they are studying the constant subjects from the syllabuses indicating sources of information and establishing a work plan. Students will also be asked to develop a set of detailed works to present to the teacher.
This stage of acquisition and deepening of knowledge will be complemented with fieldwork, where students will have the opportunity to begin practice the specialization they chosen.
Simultaneously, will take place the process of choosing or assigning the subject for the project work or internship, whose design will be developed by the student.
Evaluation method
The evaluation will be made up of several works of deepening knowledge, at least two, and the study design.
