Upon completion of the activities, the perfusionist should have mastered the below stated objectives with 100 percent accuracy:

1. To understand the structure of both normal and abnormal hemoglobin

2. To know the functional differences in normal and abnormal hemoglobins

3. To understand the role of variations in hemoglobin structure and function in the identification of pathologic hematologic conditions

4. To understand the mechanisms of hemoglobin biosynthesis and degradation in the normal and abnormal patient

5. To know the mechanisms by which abnormal hemoglobins may affect the patient's stability during cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass

6. To know the physiological and biochemical basis of gas transport and to describe the pathologic mechanisms which may affect such transport processes

7. To know the hematologic mechanisms by which gas transport is facilitated and understand the significance of such mechanisms as they relate to cellular protection
