Heart-Lung Machine
Apparatus that provides mechanical circulatory support during open-heart surgery, by passing the heart to facilitate surgery on the organ. The basic function of the machine is to oxygenate the body's venous supply of blood and then pump it back into the arterial system. The machine also provides intracardiac suction, filtration, and temperature control. Some of the more important components of these machines include pumps, oxygenators, temperature regulators, and filters. (UMDNS, 1999)

- " This procedure of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting offers significant advantages compared to the conventional bypass procedure (short hospital stay, quick recovery, and, especially, avoidance of cerebrovascular accidents caused by the heart-lung machine). " 09/01/1991
- " In order to minimise this serious complication, we instituted various protocols related to the potential causes of perioperative stroke such as: (1) components and use of the heart-lung machine; (2) air embolization; (3) intrinsic cerebro-vascular disease; (4) atheroemboli from the ascending aorta and (5) clot emboli from the left ventricle. " 12/01/1979
- " New equipment such as the heart-lung machine and the pacemaker, better diagnostic procedures, new operative and treatment devices, new drugs, and increased use of preventive medicine have dramatically reduced mortality from heart attack, hypertension and stroke."
