On successful completion of the course, the candidate will be able to secure an appointment in a hospital as Qualified Personnel for Cardiac Care. Successful completion of the program qualifies the graduate for an entry level position in Cardiac Care Technology.

B.Sc. Cardiac Pulmonary Perfusion Care Technology

During an open heart operation, the cardiopulmonary bypass (or heart lung) machine maintains the patient’s life by taking over the functions of the heart and lungs. Perfusion Technologists set up and operate the heart-lung machine and other sophisticated equipments used in the operating room. In addition, perfusionists, directed by the surgeon and anesthesiologist, are responsible for regulating the patient’s levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide, measuring selected laboratory values such as blood cell count and for monitoring circulation.

DISTINCTIVE BENEFIT

Students receive extensive instruction in Cardio Pulmonary function and extensive experience in the operating room. Graduates are eligible to become certified clinical perfusionists after the completion of their course. Although perfusion technologists usually work in hospitals affiliated with large medical centres, they may also work in Educational Institutions as teachers or researchers. They will be well versed with cardiac life support systems.

B. Sc. Anaesthesia Technology

Anaesthesia Technologists are well versed with the preparation, dilution, pharmacology and labeling of anesthetic & non anesthetic drugs. They are trained in preparing Anaesthesia trolleys checking the machines for suction, gas system operation, working of OT tables, various gases used in OT, inhalational agents usage. They assist with the administration and monitoring of anaesthesia and have extensive knowledge of anaesthesia techniques, instruments, supplies, and technology. Anaesthesia technicians are mainly employed by the Department of Anaesthesia of Hospitals and in Operating Theatres, but can be found in other areas of clinical practice including emergency departments, intensive care units (ICU) and day surgery clinics.

B. Sc. Cardiovascular Technology

Cardiovascular Technology measures how well a patient's heart is functioning and the heart rate can be monitored. Cardiac care Technologists is the Medical professionals who administer various tests that assist the doctor in diagnosis of heart ailments. Cardiovascular Technologists assist physicians during Invasive and Non- Invasive cardiovascular testing procedures. Students are taught how to perform various non Invasive tests like ECG, ECHO, and Treadmill and also to assist the Cardiologist during Invasive Procedures like Angiogram and Angioplasty. Students are also trained in the various other Advanced Imaging Techniques using Nuclear Medicine.

B.Sc. Perfusion Technology

Perfusion Technology is the science of providing extracorporeal circulation in order to artificially support and temporarily replace a patient’s respiratory and circulatory systems. Perfusionist's are important members of the surgical team whose primary role is to conduct cardiopulmonary bypass using a heart-lung machine and other ancillary equipment. They closely monitor the patient's blood flow and other vital signs during open heart surgery and are also responsible for administering intravenous fluids, blood products and anesthetic drugs. Perfusionist's are also experts of other life support equipment such as Ventricular Assist Devices and Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps. The primary aim is to academically and clinically prepare the perfusion students for professional practice. The curriculum focuses on developing a strong knowledge base in cardiothoracic anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, foetal and neonatal cardiac development and perfusion science.

PG.Diploma Stem cell Technology and Tissue Engineering

It aims at training postgraduates in life sciences and clinicians in the diverse aspects of stem cell biology, cell culture, tissue engineering, clinical requirements and regulatory issues required to pursue a career in the field of regenerative medicine/tissue engineering.

MSC Pathology

Duration of course : 2 yrs
Eligibility : BSc in Life Sciences

Aims & objects of the course

To create a new group of scientists interested in working in pathology related life science subjects, especially in the newer aspects of research in molecular biology.

Preamble: Pathology is defined as knowledge of disease leading to Disease recognition. This is possible only with the aid of various laboratory methodologies, knowledge of which has increased by leaps and bounds during the past many decades, particularly during the past two decades. While the introduction of the microscope was the first major step in recognition and identification of the normal and abnormal cell, promising all understanding of disease, newer, techniques have also brought about further inquiries and thus this has led to the rapid development of microscopy itself culminating in the discovery of the Electrons Microscope the Atomic Force microscopy the Immuno Electron, Microscopy and the latest, EM for unprocessed fresh specimens of cells and tissues.

Study of mature cells has paved the way to the study of, the very origin of cells themselves, leading to the understanding of the potential of the stem cells. This latter most promising field, offers a wide spectrum in the usage of stem cells ranging from cell differentiation to stem cell application in different disease processes:- with a view to treat, cure or contain disease proceses.

The field of cellular biology, directly leading to cellular pathology implicating molecular distribution of the normal and abnormal has now filled a huge lacuna in these sciences giving rise to newer understanding of cell behavior in disease demanding human line cell cultures in addition to various others.

A pathological marker in the recognition of self antigens is now providing research fields in the accrual of knowledge in the pathogenesis of auto immunity. This is substantiated by the rapid developments of research in genetic markers and genetic engineering requiring young inspired researchers in the field.

Future Possibilities

• Career – Teacher Pathologist – Vacancy exists in every Teaching Medical Institution in India.
• Assistant Pathologist – Requirement exists in all Hospitals, Clinics, Labs. Etc.
