Benefits of Ultrafiltration
Presenter: J. Basha, CCP
Ultrafiltration hit perfusion like a lifeline, giving us control over fluid overload when diuretics alone wouldn’t cut it. J. Basha, CCP, leads this session to show why it’s a cornerstone of my practice after 40 years. Basha will break down how ultrafiltration strips out excess water and solutes via semi-permeable membranes, while keeping proteins and cells intact. It’s not just fluid removal—it’s precision, reducing edema and even inflammatory markers. I’ll recall a heart failure case where ultrafiltration got us off bypass when the odds were grim. You’ll learn the types (conventional, modified, zero-balance), how to weave it into your circuit, and how to dodge pitfalls like hypotension. Perfusionists will find this essential; OR teams will see its teamwork value. Join us to harness ultrafiltration’s power for better outcomes.
Assessment of Patient Fluid Balance and Status
Presenters: S. Patel, MD, J. Basha, CCP
Fluid balance is perfusion’s quiet MVP—nail it, and the case flows; botch it, and you’re in chaos. Dr. S. Patel and J. Basha team up to decode this critical skill over a two-hour deep dive. They’ll cover the tools—CVP, PA pressures, TEE, bioimpedance—and how to read them amid bypass’s wild fluid shifts. I’ll share my go-to signs, like venous oxygen saturation shifts, that scream trouble early. Expect actionable strategies: pre-op prep, intra-op tweaks, and post-op stability, with tips like using albumin for oncotic pressure. This is for perfusionists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons—it’s a team effort.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
