Hello Himanshi,
Yes, after completing an
M.Sc. in Cardiovascular Technology
, you can
assist surgeons
during cardiovascular surgeries, but your role will be as a
perfusionist or cardiovascular technologist
, not as a primary surgical assistant.
Your Role in Surgery:
- Operating the heart-lung machine and monitoring blood circulation.
- Assisting in angioplasty, bypass surgeries, and valve replacements.
- Monitoring vital parameters during surgery.
-
Providing technical support
to surgeons and anesthetists.
Limitations:
- You cannot perform surgeries or make incisions like a surgeon.
-
To become a
surgical first assistant
, you would need additional training in
surgical technology or a medical degree (MBBS + MS/MCh).
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
