They operate the heart-lung machine, support vital functions, and ensure stability during life-saving operations. Their responsibilities extend beyond technical skills; they are trusted clinical partners to surgeons and anesthesiologists, managing oxygenation, administering medications, and making critical decisions in high-pressure situations.
