Comments:

Could someone clarify or explain to me, who is responsible for  perfusion during CPB.  
Our college has "PS27 (2004)  Guidelines for Fellows Who Practise Major 
Extracorporeal Perfusion"  is quite a general and vague statement, and  doesn;t 
answer my question- if cardiac surgeon, anaesthetist or medical perfusionist who is 
ultimately responsible. I believe there used to be a PS document on Management of 
CPB PS11(1991) Review, but it seemed to have being withdrawn without any 
relevant replacement.  Any taker?
