They are responsible for managing blood flow, oxygenation, temperature control, and monitoring vital parameters to keep the patient alive during surgery. Perfusionists work closely with cardiac surgeons and anesthesiologists to ensure the patient's safety and optimal surgical outcomes. The role is critical in life-saving cardiac interventions, making it one of the most important positions in the operating theatre.

Ans. Graduates can work as clinical perfusionists in cardiac surgery departments of leading hospitals, cardiac care centers, and specialized cardiac institutes. According to placement data from VMRF, M.Sc graduates have median salaries around ₹4 lakhs annually, with opportunities in hospitals like Apollo, MIOT Chennai, Narayana Hrudalaya Bangalore, and Fortis. With experience, perfusionists can advance to senior positions, become perfusion supervisors, or pursue research in cardiac care. International opportunities also exist in countries with advanced cardiac care infrastructure.
