What does this research mean for the field?

Fatigue and acute sleep deprivation are highly prevalent among cardiovascular perfusionists, leading to significant safety concerns including microsleep during cardiopulmonary bypass and fatigue-related errors. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.NOVEL_FINDING. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.ESTABLISHES_NEW_DIRECTION.

May 12, 2011Perfusion

68.9% of surveyed perfusionists worked >23 hours straight, 49.5% reported microsleep during CPB, and 6.7% admitted to a serious perfusion accident believed due to fatigue.
