Will i be able to talk to the perfusionist before my open heart surgery. i have a lot of questions about cognitive problems from bypass machine.?

Possibly: Your surgeon should also be able to address these questions, as they are certainly well-versed in the complications related to bypass, and also what sort of bypass will be needed for your case. On the other hand, i'm certain most centers could easily arrange for you to spam with the perfusionist...

If you ask: Usually the members of the heart team are happy to talk to you - if they know you want to do it. Ask your surgeon to see if he can arrange it.
