Perfusion safety: defining the problem.
Perfusion 2005 July
Perfusion safety is not an isolated component of cardiac surgery, but encompasses many facets, including equipment, safety devices, conduct of perfusion, surgical technique, vigilance, and communication within the operating room.

With refinements in perfusion equipment and techniques, and increasing use of computer assistance and automation, cardiopulmonary bypass should become even safer. The key ingredient, though, will remain the knowledge and expertise of the perfusionist.
