Tiny Perfusion Letter

If you are subscribed to this newsletter, you have all been students at some point in your life, and the majority of you have even been students in a perfusion school

So, you know how hard it is sometimes to get heard: and we at TPL HQ want to support students by finding their way to the community

That's why we would like you to take some time to fill out the survey from a perfusion student, open to all international pediatric perfusionist around the globe

Hi!

My name is Sidney Swartzbaugh, and I am a second year student at the University of Iowa’s Perfusion Education Program. I am asking for your help today in completing a survey for my senior research project. The purpose of which is to understand the utilization of perfusion equipment and decision-making aids in Pediatric Perfusion Programs.

The anonymous survey takes 10-15 minutes and there are portions that require reflection upon emotional states before and after bypass cases. You can also exit and return to the survey at any time. I would appreciate multiple providers’ responses from the same institution since there are questions pertaining to individual bypass runs. The survey is available until December 30^th.

You Cab Find the Survey Here

Thank you for taking the time to further this student’s learning, as well as the research regarding the decision-making of pediatric perfusionists!

Please help spread the word and send the survey to any pediatric perfusionist(s) you know. The more responses, the more impactful the research.

Sincerely,

Sidney Swartzbaugh

Second Year Student at The University of Iowa Perfusion Education Program
