EBCP Recommendation on Portable and Percutaneous Mechanical
Circulatory Support Devices
The European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (EBCP) is the largest professional
organisation of cardiovascular perfusionists in Europe. The EBCP aims
to improve the educational standards of perfusionists so as to enhance
the safety and outcomes of patients supported by extracorporeal mechanical
circulatory devices. Perfusionists are the only professional body whose
scope of practice includes the application of extracorporeal devices to
support patients in a variety of clinical setting. These perfusionists
should have qualified from an EBCP accredited educational programmes as
well as be certified by the EBCP. MCS devices, that are either a variation
of, or substantially equivalent to, the systems which are currently operated
by perfusionists, are beginning to be applied by other health care providers.
The position of the EBCP is that optimal care and safety of patients undergoing
mechanical circulatory support (MCS) must not be compromised by being
operated by personnel who are not qualified perfusionists. The EBCP believes
that the safe and effective operation of these mechanical, life-supporting
systems requires that a qualified perfusionist should participate directly
in or supervise the use of MCS. The introduction into the clinical setting
of such MCS devices without the involvement of a properly trained team
threatens patient safety and subjects them to substantial and unnecessary
risk of injury. The EBCP strongly recommends that throughout the implementation,
operation and management of all MCS-systems, a perfusionist who is qualified
by a formal education and possesses the appropriate clinical expertise
should either directly operate the equipment or supervise its application.
These recommendations are based on the position-paper that was published
by the ECLS Working–Group entitled Position article for the use of extracorporeal
life support in adult patients European Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
