No, a perfusionist is not a nurse.
A perfusionist is a specialised healthcare professional who is trained to operate the heart-lung machine during cardiac surgery and other medical procedures. The primary responsibility of a perfusionist is to manage the patient's cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) function while the surgeon performs procedures on the heart or other organs.
