Mª Rosa Garín Solé: pionera de la enfermería perfusionista en el Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau de Barcelona

Mª Rosa Garín Solé, the first perfusionist at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP) in Barcelona, pioneered the role of nurse perfusionists, significantly advancing cardiac surgery outcomes. Her career, spanning from 1954 to 1994, included leading the HSCSP's first cardiac transplant in 1984 and founding the Spanish Association of Perfusion Nurses (AEP) in 1978, which she later chaired. This qualitative study, based on an in-depth interview, recovers her professional trajectory, highlighting her contributions to nursing history and patient care. Recognized with Catalonia's President Francesc Macià Medal in 2006, Garín Solé's legacy underscores the impact of nurse perfusionists on surgical advancements.
