    The current educational curriculum for a perfusion student includes both clinical and didactic work. The clinical experience is comprised of observing actual cases and then operating the perfusion equipment under the direct supervision of a certified perfusionist. There is no room for error as a patient's life is at stake. There is a need for a perfusion simulator which provides the student with all the physical and theoretical requirements of an actual cardiopulmonary bypass case while allowing them to make mistakes without a catastrophic outcome. The Milwaukee School of Engineering's Master of Science - Perfusion program is currently developing a clinical perfusion simulator.
    The perfusion simulator is comprised of a modified Donovan Loop, a personal computer, and a cardiopulmonary bypass pump. The personal computer controls the Donovan Loop via a 12 bit Data Acquisition Board (CIO-DAS1601/12). The D/A board converts signals from the computer into voltage levels which control the valves and motors on the modified Donovan Loop. Pressure and flow sensors located within the Donovan Loop provide feed-back loops for the software running on the computer. The software controls the Systolic and Central Venous pressures within the Donovan Loop to provide the student with the same experience as found during an actual cardiopulmonary bypass procedure.
    The control software, written in Visual BasicTM provides a user friendly interface and allows for future expansion into several areas. Future modifications planned for the software are the inclusion of pharmacology, temperature control, and volume changes.
