A machine or method for artificially circulating the patient’s blood during open-heart surgery. The heart and lungs are cut off from the circulation and replaced by a pump.
A procedure used to divert blood from the heart and lungs while maintaining perfusion and oxygenation to the rest of the body through the use of a heart-lung machine.
Temporary diversion of blood circulation during heart surgery; blood passes through a heart-lung machine that receives deoxygenated blood from the venous side of circulation and then returns oxygenated blood to the patient’s arterial side of circulation.
A method by which the circulation to the body is maintained while the heart is deliberately stopped during heart surgery. The function of the heart and lungs is carried out by a pump-oxygenator (heart-lung machine) until the natural circulation is restored.
A procedure in which the body’s circulation of blood is kept going when the heart is intentionally stopped to enable heart surgery to be carried out. A heart-lung machine substitutes for the heart’s pumping action, and the blood is oxygenated at the same time.
The process of mechanically circulating blood using a heart-lung machine, which bypasses the heart and lungs.
During heart surgery, when the heart is temporarily stopped, the circulation of blood throughout the body is upheld through a procedure called cardiopulmonary bypass. This involves the utilization of a heart-lung machine, which ensures a continuous supply of oxygenated blood to the body tissues.
