Keystone Perfusion Services

Keystone Perfusion Services is a Nationwide key supplier of Cardiovascular Perfusionist staffing. Perfusionists are vital members of the cardiovascular surgical team because they are responsible for running the heart-lung (cardiopulmonary bypass) machine. The heart-lung machine diverts blood away from the heart and lungs, adds oxygen to the blood, then returns the blood to the body-all without the blood having to go through the heart. During cardiac surgery, perfusionists use the heart-lung machine to maintain blood flow to the body's tissues and regulate levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood while the cardiac surgeon performs surgery on the heart.
