Guideline Writing Subcommittee

Objectives:

The mission of the guideline writing subcommittee is to develop evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for cardiovascular perfusion.  This committee would adopt the methodology used by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline writing group.  These guidelines would be written and subsequently updated to remain concurrent with the medical literature.  The use of these guidelines in practice would be tracked through the clinical registry subcommittee.

Each guideline would be submitted to the participating perfusion organizations for their review and endorsement prior to submission for publication.  Involvement of representatives from each of the participating perfusion organizations in the guideline writing subcommittee should reduce any un/anticipated hurdles for the endorsement of any given guideline.

Inflammation and Platelet Preservation Guideline (WG1).
