| cardiopulmonary bypass |
Also called the "heart/lung machine", cardiopulmonary bypass is a complicated mechanical device which allows the heart to be stopped during delicate cardiac surgical procedures. Blue (oxygen poor) blood is drained from the patient to a reservoir where oxygen is added to the blood; this red (oxygen-rich) blood is then pumped back to the patient directly into the aorta. Hypothermia (lowering of the body temperature) is used in most cases.
